This is the 'new' look introduced in Gnome 2.6, I believe, called
Spatial Nautilus. If you dig down through lots of directories you
can soon find yourself knee deep in open windows, something that
I really hated with OS/2.

Anyway, if you're running Gnome 2.8 and over you can open the
preferences dialogue for Nautilus and on the second page
(Behaviour) put a check mark in 'Always Open in Browser Windows'

If you're running 2.6 you'll have to launch the Gconf editor
and drill down to Apps > Nautilus > Preferences and put a check
in always_use_browser.

As an aside, how is Solaris 10? I downloaded the CDs a while
ago but I'm not brave enough to try it out.
