Dropbox is one such case. [Test Case] 1. Launch nautilus, and make sure it is currently rendering the desktop. 2. Run "nautilus --no-desktop /" 3. See if the desktop vanishes. [Regression Potential] The patch is relatively trivial, only affecting the --no-desktop codepath. As a worst case, --no-desktop would not function correctly in cases where nautilus is not already running (--no-desktop when nautilus is not already running means nautilus should not render the desktop at all). Just to make sure, this additional test case should be used: 1. Kill nautilus, and make sure it doesn't get relaunched. 2. Check to see what the desktop looks like (shouldn't be rendered by nautilus, at least) 3. Launch "nautilus --no-desktop /" 4. Make sure that nautilus really doesn't render a desktop.

My initial attempt crashed the system such that the only way to turn off the system was hold the power button. After that I decided to do it in parts. I took the first part which was basically a single paragraph. The first paragraph went in, so I tried some more text, after the first picture. That again crashed Ubuntu so the power button again was needed. A third attempt likewise crashed the system, so that I understood that there are apparently some characters which Libre Office has real trouble with. To solve the problem I did a copy paste into gedit which lost all the formatting information - but at least it worked with no crashes. After I had all the text in gedit, I could copy paste from gedit to LIbre Office. Then I did a copy image on the pictures and added them. The copy image was clean - as I have come to expect from Libre Office. In short, I got the job done. Since I have a very high opinion of Libre Office, I would like someone to look into the problem and filter out whatever nasty character is crashing the system.

It is clearly not obvious that it should be connected to dropbox. In fact it took me a while to find where the connection was. It is however connected to dropbox. I have solved the problem personally in that I now never ask to open a dropbox window. Instead I right click on File and choose Open a New Window. That works properly.

Eli shalom, On this system Use system font for user interface is checked and I can set Hebrew as the locale and all works perfectly well. Thus it seems in most cases the default Ubuntu font does indeed support Hebrew. On my friend's computer, on the other hand, there IS a problem. So maybe there are 2 different versions of the default Ubuntu font? On this computer there is a good one and on your computer and my friend's computer, a bad one? It sounds a bit far fetched, but how can one explain what we see? In any case, I'll try the work around on my friend's computer.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 891638] Re: missing Hebrew menus at login time
Hi Gunnar, This morning I saw there were updates available and among them was the greeter. I downloaded and it asked me if I wanted to update the config file or keep the current version. I guessed that in the default version the show language combo box wouldn't be true, so I opted to keep the current version. I logged out and back in again with no change, so I did a reboot. Then it worked and changed to Hebrew. You also improved the text in the combo box. Instead of he-il, it is now Hebrew, which is nicer. Also it seems that the list is shorter (this may be just my imagination). In any case it was much easier to see the Hebrew entry. In any case, it is up and flying! Thanks for your effort.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 891638] Re: missing Hebrew menus at login time
Hi Gunnar, I went to synaptic and installed lightdm-gtk-greeter. I didn't have it installed. also the greeter session was unity-greeter. Also added the true for the show language bar. Did a reboot and now it appears. I must say that in my opinion the greeter is nicer than unity. Among all the variations of English, I finally saw Hebrew, so I chose it. It nicely ignored me and continued in English. Next time I logged in, it was back to English as the default language.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 891638] Re: missing Hebrew menus at login time
Hi Gunnar, I finally see my error! In the Language Support Hebrew was always grayed out. I assumed that the fact that it was grayed out meant that I couldn't use it. In fact I couldn't choose it, but I COULD drag it up to the top, and THAT I didn't know. So that solves the main problem in that my friends can use Hebrew. There is another system which I use for compilation of Netbeans and others use for data entry. I prefer English but Hebrew is necessary for those doing the data entry.
