i've made 3 versions of patch different things. first adds button. second adds , home buttons. third adds up, reload , home buttons. 1 needed. choose patch download here:

nautilus-up_button-patch.txt (up button only)
nautilus-toolbar-patch.txt (up , home buttons)

instructions:

make new directory work in, download nautilus source code , dependencies:

code:

 mkdir nautilus-mod  cd nautilus-mod  apt-get source nautilus  sudo apt-get build-dep nautilus

then go nautilus source directory:

code:

cd nautilus-3.2.1

kill running nautilus process, install system-wide:

code:

killall -kill nautilus  sudo make install
