I have version 2.28.0-0ubuntu5 of gnome-session in Karmic and I'm experiencing the same bug. For me, however, what opens up instead of Nautilus is the Synaptic Package Manager :) Hendy and Dinçer's fix worked for me; but because it was happening for me with Nautilus, with him with SMplayer, and with another person with Konqueror, I don't think it's can be strictly related to SMplayer. Dinçer, like you I found a similar line (referencing Synaptic naturally instead of SMplayer) inside my mimeapps.list file. This was a really odd and annoying bug for the longest time. Does anyone know where something like this would pop up? I'm a Linux noob and am not a developer at all.

Try this. Go to the places menu and click Computer or run Nautilus in any way you can. Then, right click Filesystem and go to Properties and select the Open With tab. Select the desired file manager. I selected Open Folder which, in GNOME just uses Nautilus. This may possibly change the file manager back to normal. Strangely, this also applies to your Home Folder, Desktop, and Bookmarks all in the places menu. Very odd indeed, since there are no Open With options for the home folder, desktop folder, Documents, etc. (I had this problem after installing and uninstalling PCMan, and now I just selected Open Folder which uses Nautilus).

[Bug 35997] Re: Gnome's Places menu starts Konqueror instead of Nautilus
To reply to the upstream comment, directory is not a special type. Setting a default mimetype doesn't require playing with a different type, that's basically how apps for a mimetype work: - the .desktop lists the mimetype to MimeType= - update-desktop-database makes a list Mimetype:list of apps opening it to /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache - when trying to open mimetype one handler from that list is picked, if no default is set nautilus picks the first using the reversed alphabetical order - you can set a default to /usr/share/applications/defaults.list for GNOME by example - user can set a custom default with an user defaults.list That works for any mimetype. A directory is from x-directory/normal type, setting a default is only usin x-directory/normal=app.desktop to the defaults.list, no need to play with a non-mimetype for that -- Gnome's Places menu starts Konqueror instead of Nautilus https://launchpad.net/bugs/35997 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Do you have any situation to point of firefox using gnome-default- handler? That would be a firefox bug anyway What is your point about the default handler? The default handler is for a mimetype, ie: x-directory/normal, consider x-directory/gnome-default- handler as a GNOME private namespace if you want, that's a trick they are using to assure directories have an handler when the mimebase has no x-directory handler listed -- Gnome's Places menu starts Konqueror instead of Nautilus https://launchpad.net/bugs/35997 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 35997] Re: Gnome's Places menu starts Konqueror instead of Nautilus
I don't know about the default handler, but if it's a firefox bug it's too late to fix it now (if at all) for dapper, and it may be used by other apps too. if it's a GNOME private thing it should not be used by non-gnome apps. If they use it and rely on it there may be no other way for apps other than nautilus to play nice with them. And if x-directory/gnome-default-handle is a fallback for when no x-directory is listed why it is used?

[Bug 35997] Re: Gnome's Places menu starts Konqueror instead of Nautilus
If thunar can handle that, and the user installed thunar, is it surprising that is does that? Yes and no. Its ok that it is set as default. But I'm not allowed to change it anyway. I can see that thunar is associated in nautilus (file- properties, open-with tab), but i'm not allowed to change it. And it would suprise me if uninstalling xubuntu-desktop and then thunar (manually) would 'fix' this. Eventhough, nautilus (which is also a bug) ignores the default and opens a folder in nautilus instead. Konqueror does the same. Confusingly konquer isn't even listed. The location menu on the other hand still opens nautilus. Whereas firefox's right click -open folder on a download also opens thunar. Amarok opens konqueror though. It seems the file associations between xfce and gnome are linked, but the kde-world is seperate. Which is perhaps this is the best plan for xfce/gnome as well. Esspecially if you want to be able to use both. But to fix this more thoroughly might be too late for dapper. For all its worth: we need a more general hack than just hardcode the locations menu to use nautilus. -- Gnome's Places menu starts Konqueror instead of Nautilus https://launchpad.net/bugs/35997 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Then again it might break some things in Xubuntu: like the open-map option in firefox which also depends on same configuration. As well as the desktop-search that is using the same configuration. Otherwise you'll have these programs open nautilus on Xubuntu rather than thunar. Is it possible to have these settings load depending on which desktop I login to?

If thunar can handle that, and the user installed thunar, is it surprising that is does that? From what I know, apps can say what they handle and that's it. Policy is decided by the user, or the sysadmin who modifies the system wide settings of these associsations. So I still don't think thunar is at fault here if it handles something it can handle. If it does not integrate well with Places or does something badly, I agree. Similar things can be said about many apps in a mixed desktop environment. For example installing nautilus on an xfce system and running it, takes over the desktop (default behaviour) and file manager roles. People complain repeatedly on the xfce ML but that's how it is supposed to be: policy is not up to the app. Can we ask make nautilus not take over the desktop and have a --with-desktop as an opt-in option? I don't think so :) I'll notify thunar upstream, maybe there is a solution, or indeed this is not intended behaviour. If it annoys people we could override this I guess. It's just that I am not sure it is 'correct'. -- Gnome's Places menu starts Konqueror instead of Nautilus https://launchpad.net/bugs/35997 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
