Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

The version of Nautilus in Intrepid does not support mappings of the
mouse nav buttons (forward and backward) to the forward and backward
navigation feature (alt+left, alt+right). This should be fixed.

This is a very common feature found in many programs (firefox, for
example) and is highly requested. Almost 700 votes between duplicates
(http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/6186/).

If Ubuntu really does aim to be the distribution to bridge the gap
between windows and linux with an easy transition this is a necessary
feature. Nautilus has already cloned Window's "Compact View" feature to
help easy the transition. Why not add this commonsense feature? I
imagine the patch would be very simple. Catch 2 new keypress signals,
map them to behavior whose function already exists.

Thank you for your time.
