Public bug reported:
As the title says, the nautilus preferences menu can't be accessed in
the flashback session. You can't edit a number of settings without going
to dconf-editor of playing with gsettings. Just a few examples:
#1: Can't change sort folders before files setting
#2: Can't change number of clicks needed to open files/folders
#3: Can't change icon caption settings
#4: Can't change order of information settings for list view
#5: Can't change preview settings
In a GNOME Shell session the preferences menu is accessed by right
clicking the nautilus tab in the window list while nautilus is open. In
Unity it's accessed by clicking on Edit in the menu bar. Flashback lacks
the ability to do either.
