Then we have to make some tough decisions to reduce the number of modes. 
(*ouch* I just enabled seperate dirs & sidebar & preview all together)

What about this:
left pane: one out of side bar / seperate dirs / preview / none
right pane: one out of simple list view / detailed view / icon view

Why do we have the sidebar at all actually? I'm not sure if I'm fully up to 
date, but I have here:
*) Sidebar
*) Bookmark toolbar button
*) directory combobox.

All three provide essentially the same functionality. Do we need the sidebar?

Cheers,
Waldo
