Public bug reported:
Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu)
Severity: Normal
Priority: (none set)
Status: Unconfirmed
Description:
Double-clicking through nautilus on a file on a Samba-share, gives the
following message:
Do you want to run "test.txt", or display its contents?
"test.txt" is an executable text file.
When choosing 'Display', the approriate application (gedit) will be started.
This does *not* happen when the same file is on a local drive, gedit starts
immediately.
How to reproduce this error:
1. Create a new file, test.txt on the desktop
2. Double-click, gedit should open
3. Copy file test.txt to a Samba-share
4. Point to the file using Nautilus
5. Double-click gives you an error message

... though, it concerns Open Office.
