[Bug 748956] Re: Places Menu

 

Just discovered that this is linked to the fact that in gconf-editor
/-->apps-->nautilus-->preferences-->desktop_is_home_dir is defaulted to
on, even though the desktop is not used for files. I assume this is used
as a hacky workaround to hide the desktop entry from the places menu (it
does show up in the places menu when desktop_is_home_dir is disabled.)
This may affect how the computer is trying to load documents, downloads,
etc. Anyone else want to confirm this?

Title:
  Places  Menu

Status in elementary OS:
  Invalid
Status in nautilus-elementary:
  New

Bug description:
  On initial logon, when attempting to click on any of the Places
  Personal Folders besides Home (Example: Downloads, Video, Music), in
  the top panel, Nautilus Elementary does not show up. Instead you see
  the spinning wheel, which eventually leads to a regular cursor (which
  doesnt take you to the desired folder). In order to open nautilus from
  the Places Menu, you must first click on Home. After home has been
  launched, you can then uses the places menu to reach personal folders
  (music, documents, downloads, etc..)

  This is also reproduced when using the bookmarks docklet. You must
  first click on the home folder in order to use the other personal
  folders.
