Ok, to clarify my position, I do have sympathy for Adam's thought that it
would be nice to distinguish our file manager from whatever else is out there
and to me the use of the path buttons sounds like something that is worth
trying. It improves consistency with other gtk apps because it reuses concepts
of the gtk file chooser. The UI without the toolbar is also rather uncluttered
and obvious, which are both important properties for a 'simple' file manager
IMO.
