This bug become visible after upgrading to intrepid RC.
When opening some folders from the places gnome-panel menu, they're
opened using application associated with the "inode/directory" mime-type
instead of nautilus. This setting is stored in
~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list and looks like this for me:
inode/directory=totem.desktop;audacious-usercustom.desktop;
It's no surprise, but the behaviour was different in hardy (the folders
were opened in nautilus). It is possible to set application associated
with opening directories by right-clicking one of them in nautilus and
setting the default program to open elements of this type to something
other than "open directory". It happens only to directories selected
from the places menu. Directories on desktop shown by nautilus open in
nautilus.
After changing some directory's "open with" in nautilus to "open directory",
the mimeapps.list entry changes to:
inode/directory=nautilus-folder-handler.desktop;totem.desktop;audacious-usercustom.desktop;
The two other records are because I've previously used totem and audacious to
open whole music folders.
Maybe the after-first-logon-in-upgraded-distro-version (I made up this
name. I mean the one that asks about adding user-switching applet to
gnome-panel) program should reset the "inode/directory" handler to some
sane value or just delete the association.
