Well, it does a lot of stuff... you might not use it all, but it's there.
That's why I went to the less able ROX-filer RTFM? Try "gnome-cd-properties". This isn't nautilus' fault in the first place.
Since I'm not using it in Gnome, I didn't think to read the Gnome pages, but I did read the info on Nautilus Then you haven't really closed it now, have you? What do you think is managing your desktop? If you don't like it, there's always KDE, or TWM if you'd prefer...
Well, I had thought that I was using icewm, and that if I wanted to browse some files, I could use nautilus, but I was wrong. Nautilus takes over the whole desktop, placing icons. Again, the reason I went to ROX, so I didn't have to deal with having some monstrous program taking over my desktop just to browse the filesystem and launch files. Finally:
You haven't really answered my questions, now have you, nor did the article. I am honestly curious. I would like to see a Gnome that is less heavy on resources. Is that happening?

FYI the amount of RAM doesn't increase like that in my Windows 98, which is also immune to the Blaster Worm.
Yeah, too bad Red Hat 9 is so buggy and insecure that it allow exploits like that.

Because it doesn't actually change the resolutions you fucking asshat! All it does is change the virtual window at which you are still looking at the highest resolution. Then you get that stupid scrolling desktop that moves every time you hit the edge of your virtual window. NOBODY uses a desktop like that! Fucking stupid asshat motherfucker! Windows 95 had that ability to change color depth and reslution, why can't you fucking Lunix tards get it right!!? After all it's almost eight years since Windows 95 came out and you're still fiddling with that retarded Ctrl +/- feature like it's new or something! I am seething with hate for fools like you! You need to learn something about computers before you go spouting off crap like this. God I HATE you!!!

Buy some more RAM and get on with life
That my friend is one of the stupidest goddamn things I've ever read on slashdot and that's saying something.
This is antecdotal evidence to be sure but everyone I've ever been around (large comp sci department at a big goddamn uni) that has used Nautilus even on machines with 1GB or more of memory hates it. Nay, fucking hates it. Why? Because it's slow as christmas. They usually run KDE or fluxbox or something like it. Slow bloated shit will get you nowhere.
I wonder if you work for crucial or if you code bloated pig software?

Uh... sawfish (which was part of GNOME from the early days until Havoc Pennington hijacked GNOME and made metacity the default wm), which should still be usable with GNOME (I used it for a while with GNOME 2.2 until I had a RAM module fail and GNOME got dog-slow) allows you to adjust the stacking of windows to achieve always on top.
This is far from a new feature (though it may be new to metacity, the shittiest excuse for a window manager since twm).
