If you make it hidden and you also make the desktop the only way to browse the home directory, then there is no way for an end user to back up his Evolution data and move it around. It sure will be configurable at some point (1.2 most likely), but not in 1.0.x and not because of Nautilus. BTW, if you don't want users to access the contents of directories like ~/evolution, we could add a metadata property that marks a directory as "non browsable by default", and when you enter it Nautilus could display some blurb about how the contents of the directory shouldn't be manipulated, unless the user does something explicit (like e.g. changing to the "Advanced" user level or clicking a "browse at my own risk" button or something). > of help.

KDE got it right by calling it ~/Desktop. -- Ettore _______________________________________________ nautilus-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.eazel.com/mailman/listinfo/nautilus-list or ...
