Thank you A. Walton, your help has been greayly appreciated, x-nautilus-desktop:// is exactly what I wanted and will use. I am running ArchLinux and Openbox and I love nautilus, I also wanted a desktop to easily work with files. However when having the nautilus desktop enabled it will cover the openbox desktop and so a lot of functionality(which I want to have) of openbox is removed.
Now I can run nautilus as a filebrowser and have a nautilus desktop plasmoid in Openbox. Best regards Nicklas W Bjurman ________________________________ From: A.

The actual URL is x-nautilus-desktop://, but usage is discouraged. You can just set the gconf show_desktop flag to false and open the desktop (defaults to ~/Desktop) in its own browser or spatial window. To put icons where you want arbitrarily, right click->Arrange by->Manually. Mounted volumes already show up in computer:///, so there's no real reason to duplicate that in the browser/spatial window (and frankly IMO it's kind of silly on the regular desktop, but I guess most distros ship that way by default). No real hacking necessary. -A. Walton > > Best regards > Nicklas W Bjurman > > > -- > nautilus-list mailing list > nautilus-list@gnome.org > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/nautilus-list
