Public bug reported: There is no description in the Startup Services for nautilus in gnome- session-properties (from gnome-session-bin), which attempts to display startup applications using the 'Comment' field of the nautilus- autostart.desktop file. This file does not contain a 'Comment' descriptor, resulting in a 'No Description' message in the startup services. The fix for this is to add the 'Comment' line in the nautilus- autostart.desktop file so it is displayed properly by gnome-session- properties.
The /etc/xdg/autostart/nautilus-autostart.desktop file should be modified from (English): [Desktop Entry] Type=Application Name=Files Exec=nautilus -n OnlyShowIn=GNOME;Unity; AutostartCondition=GSettings org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons NoDisplay=true X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=nautilus To : [Desktop Entry] Type=Application Name=Files (Nautilus File Manager) Comment=Set Nautilus to open uri's in new window Exec=nautilus -n OnlyShowIn=GNOME;Unity; AutostartCondition=GSettings org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons NoDisplay=true X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=nautilus Several users keep asking what the service 'Files' does in the Startup Applications. This should eliminate the users confusion. This also applies to a number of other .desktop files in the /etc/xdg/autostart directory, such as ubuntuone, orca, gnome-settings- daemon, onboard, AT-SPI DBUS-1 Dbus, etc ** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1190253 Title: Nautilus no Description in Startup Services (gnome-session-properties) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1190253/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
