It's something that lately has been wrongly attributed to GNOME 2.6
and/or Fedora Core 2, but is actually a function of the new version of
Nautilus shipping with GNOME 2.6. Basically, clicking through directory
trees causes a new window to come up for every sub-directory, spatially
oriented to where you clicked it (or so I've read). It's a controversial
feature, because they don't provide an easy way to turn it off, and many
people don't like the resulting clutter. For two of many negative
articles on it, click on the below courtesy of Slashdot:

(You can go to www.slashdot.org and search on the words "Nautilus
spatial" to get the original threads which point to the above. Put on
your asbestos suit and bad words filter, first. :-) )
