I don't have time these days to re-ping upstream about that, I'm leaving today for 2 weeks, so be patient. The xfce bug is marked as closed (in 2006), and the gnome bug was closed due to the deprecation of gnome-vfs. The bug is still here with gnome3, though. One workaround I've found in fedora mailing list[1] was to change the default file manager. It is a bit ugly, since you are required to do it from the XFCE settings manager -- gnome3 offers no such functionality. [1] http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.general/401308 Just run xfce4-settings-manager, go to 'Preferred Applications', on the 'Utilities' tab choose 'Other...' in the File manager drop-down (for some reason nautilus is not among the offered options), and in the Choose a custom File Manager dialog enter /usr/bin/nautilus. A side effect of the setting would be that Nautilus will be the file manager even in XFCE. A proper fix, somewhere, would be nice, though. signature.asc Description: Digital signature
