Switch to Text Mode Location Bar @ Nautilus Ubuntu 11.04 Natty

Using Text Mode Location Bar was disabled like the previous releases but i was able to enable it from preferences. Natty has no option for that. By knowing that in linux there is always an alternative way to solve such problems i have started search the solution for this and i have end up with the following command which permanently enables the text mode location bar for nautilus:
$ gconftool-2 --type=Boolean --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/always_use_location_entry true
The command changes /apps/nautilus/preferences/always_use_location_entry boolean parameter to be true where nautilus checks whether to always use the location bar in text mode. It’s also possible to switch location bar to text mode for the instance with the shortcut CTRL+L but when the directory changes it returns to its default.
I was uncomfortable with the default configuration but if somehow someone gets lock with text mode location bar and don’t like it to be so the parameter could be set to false with the following command:
$ gconftool-2 --type=Boolean --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/always_use_location_entry false
