So does Ubuntu plan to switch to the new upstream applet in a future version?

(3) Error from Nautilus: (translated from dutch): Cannot create mandatory directories: /home/user/Desktop /home/user/.nautilus (4) Update Window: "Record your encryption passphrase" > No idea what I have to do with this, if I execute the suggested action, this has no effect, and the system doesn't respond as indicated in the window itself. (5) Now I get the blank default Desktop background, with nothing on it (no menu's, links, etc.) I am sort of logged in however, because I can get a screen to shut down, restart etc., when pushing my computer's on/off button. And after a break I get the normal login window that asks my password. If I enter it, the system hangs. > Maybe this bug has to do with messed up file permissions? I have no idea. Maybe it's related to the fact that my home directory is encrypted (encryptfs) Work-around to be able to login again and turn autmatic login off: boot with recovery mode, log in manually from the command prompt, and run 'startx' to start up ubuntu.
