"Any way to get nautilus to show up in an actual window, with a real frame? What if people want to drag and drop files between two windows?"

Nautilus starts maximized by default. Just click the maximize button to make it no longer maximized. Dragging and dropping between Nautilus windows (or between a Nautilus window and the desktop) works the same way as it always has. See http://askubuntu.com/questions/39014/how-do-i-stop-unity-from-starting-windows-maximised for details. See http://www.ubuntugeek.com/list-of-ubuntu-unity-keyboard-shortcuts.html for information about how to quickly use the keyboard to manipulate where and how big application windows are.

"it's a shame that all of those used P-III PC's nobody wants anymore can't still be used for a few more years in schools and non-profits."
