Description Michael Catanzaro 2013-04-23 14:39:18 UTC 
After fixing Bug #696213, nautilus's default size (800x550) is no longer large enough to display four columns of icons. Instead, it now displays three columns, with a lot of blank space off to the right. This is a poor initial experience.

830x550 looks good as a default width.  When I set my screen resolution to 800x600, nautilus maximized itself automatically, so I think it's safe to increase.

Oops, the screenshot is mostly transparent... I've seen that before when using gnome-screenshot.  But the screenshot still displays the gist of the situation.

Hi Cosimo, will this go into 3.8.2?

Thanks.
