Hmmm...what version of Nautilus is Dapper using?
On my install (Debian Etch) of Nautilus 2.14.1:
1) The first item in the File drop down menu is "Create Folder"
(Shift+Ctrl+N), in spatial mode. In browser mode, it's the second item.
2) The first item that appears in the menu that pops-up when I
right-click on any empty space in a Nautilus window is "Create Folder".
Note that if an existing folder or file is highlighted, the right-click
menu is different and does not contain an option to create a folder.
Nautilus assumes, if you have a file or folder highlighted, you want to
perform an operation on that file or folder, not make a new one.
I can't imagine why Dapper would've removed these options.
