Just discovered that this is linked to the fact that in gconf-editor /-->apps-->nautilus-->preferences-->desktop_is_home_dir is defaulted to on, even though the desktop is not used for files. I assume this is used as a hacky workaround to hide the desktop entry from the places menu (it does show up in the places menu when desktop_is_home_dir is disabled.) This may affect how the computer is trying to load documents, downloads, etc. Anyone else want to confirm this?

Instead you see the spinning wheel, which eventually leads to a regular cursor (which doesnt take you to the desired folder). In order to open nautilus from the Places Menu, you must first click on Home. After home has been launched, you can then uses the places menu to reach personal folders (music, documents, downloads, etc..) This is also reproduced when using the bookmarks docklet. You must first click on the home folder in order to use the other personal folders. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~elementaryart Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~elementaryart More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
