Then ROX should be more your friend. I'm a bash user myself and I found
ROX great because you can easily make key-shortcuts. So if I press "S" I
get a small command line and can issue a command. If I press Ctrl-T a
terminal popps up and put cwd to the directory ROX is in at the moment.
etc... I it is also fast to go to another path by hand. I just press "g"
and then I get say: /home/randhol/Source/Ada95/ 
If I now want to go to /home/randhol/ I only have to press backspace
twice and I'm there. And you also have TAB completion so Mi<TAB> will
send me to /home/randhol/Misc etc... Not to mentioned how easy it is to
set run action, icons etc...

Rox + Xfce4 is a very good combination IMHO.
