Keep in mind that using nautilis will assume the credentials of the logged in 
user.  The apache folders are normally not accessible to everyday users.  So, 
if you go to the command line as root, of course you will see something 
different.

Also, every distro does some things differently.  If you learn enough about 
file systems, and Apache in general, you can deduce where the pertinent 
settings will be.  Ubuntu uses the concept of "enabled sites" (only distro 
I've seen do this so far).  This is nothing more than a VirtualHost 
definition put into a specific folder (or linked).  Each VirtualHost can have 
it's own DocumentRoot setting....
