Re: Nautilus fails to manage desktop
Hi all, i've find a temporay solution... i'm running nautilus 2.20.0-6, and after a recent reboot nautilus is refusing to manage the desktop >>> check the content of file ~/.config/user-dirs.dir see if that can help >>> you. >> There's no such file.

It was posted by Christian Jaeger to the debian user mailing list, in a topic with subject: Lenny users: attn about Gnome/libxml2 breakage As i've said, the problem is not nautilus. The problem is related to new release of libxml. Here i report the solution proposed by Christian, but i think it's a good idea to read all the topic/replies. > Solution: install libxml2 from unstable; this is actually a downgrade (from > libxml2 2.6.32.dfsg-2+lenny to 2.6.32.dfsg-2).

Re: Nautilus fails to manage desktop
Sorry for my mistake, it should be ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs you can find things such as XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop" XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/Desktop" in that file 2008/8/23 Todd A.

Hi, check the content of file ~/.config/user-dirs.dir see if that can help you. 2008/8/23 Todd A.

Nautilus fails to manage desktop
I'm running nautilus 2.20.0-6, and after a recent reboot nautilus is refusing to manage the desktop. I've tried killing nautilus, removing ~/.nautilus and ~/.gconf/apps/nautilus before relaunching it manually, but it simply refused to show the contents of ~/Desktop on the desktop. gconf-editor shows that /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop is enabled, so that doesn't seem to be the issue, either. What else can I do to restore my desktop icons and allow nautilus to manage the desktop? -- "Oh, look: rocks!" -- Doctor Who, "Destiny of the Daleks" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
