I desperately searched for something that answers the problem posted in below read-only thread:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=84129
The problem was finding an applet to browse directory tree directly in the Gnome panel similar to that in "Recent Documents". The thread was closed without any solution posted there and also no solution available elsewhere (I searched for over 2 hours) in the forum.
Hence I am posting the solution in this new thread, especially for Ubuntu/Linux newbies.
Search for "file-browser-applet" in the Synaptic Package Manager. The applet with exactly that name is what you need. It allows to browse and open files on your computer from the GNOME panel. Once installed, "Add to panel".
