Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-panel
software involved:
Ubuntu Intrepid, gnome-panel version 1:2.24.1-0ubuntu2
to reproduce:
1: use nautilus to browse a samba server's shares list. For example
smb://localhost
2: add a nautilus bookmark to that location
3: open the new bookmark trough the gnome "places" menu
(also drag the new icon on the panel and launch it from there to get the same
result)
result:
An error message about the impossibility of opening the position and no
application registered to handle that file.
expected result, as it was in Hardy:
a nautilus windows as in step 1 to reproduce.
what works:
opening the bookmark from the bookmarks menu in nautilus,
bookmarking a share on a host (e.g. smb://localhost/share)
opening the same URI from the command line (e.g nautilus smb://localhost)
As a side note, I keep not understanding why gnome-panel must use an
internal "format" for some launchers like logout and those in places.
This makes them not moveable/draggable on the desktop. There should be
almost only .desktop files that execute commands, it's really this
simple. A bookmark in the places menu would just execute nautilus $URI
and that would not trigger a stupid little bug like this one.
