Yes technically according to the file system structure, 'File System' is the
root of everything, but at the partition/device level, 'File System' is only
the top level of the partition the system is running on and is on the same
level as any other partition of the hard disk or removable media. I'd recommend
to always show it by default, would likely piss off alot of power users if it
ain't there, with an option to hide it. Even better is to have the option have
3 possible values - hidden, top, bottom. If such an option to hide it is there,
then we'd also have to hide the Device group if there are no additional
partitions or removable drives are currently listed (caja and nemo do this).

Yep that kind of option would be great for a user's full customization.

The order looks great, though Vorlagen likely should be removed from the menu
and none of the devices and network shares are listed in it.
