The default application for folders in gnome should be nautilus-folder- handler, as it contains:
MimeType=x-directory/gnome-default- handler;x-directory/normal;inode/directory;application/x-gnome-saved- search; Experimenting with ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list I get the following result: [Added Associations] inode/directory=nautilus-folder-handler.desktop; ==> I can't open the home folder from gnome-panel [Added Associations] inode/directory=nautilus.desktop; Everything works as expected. So I suspect something is wrong with nautilus-folder-handler.desktop on my intrepid system. Using strace I found out that there was a local nautilus-folder- handler.conf in ~/.local/share/applications/ (Name and Comment grep-ed away) --- local 2008-10-09 22:54:31.000000000 +0200 +++ system-wide 2008-10-09 22:49:19.000000000 +0200 @@ -1,9 +1,10 @@ [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Exec=nautilus --no-desktop %U -Hidden=true +Icon=folder-open MimeType=x-directory/gnome-default-handler;x-directory/normal;inode/directory;application/x-gnome-saved-search; NoDisplay=true +OnlyShowIn=GNOME; StartupNotify=true Terminal=false TryExec=nautilus @@ -11,4 +12,5 @@ X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Bugzilla=GNOME X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Component=general X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Product=nautilus -X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Version=2.20.0 +X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Version=2.24.0 +X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=nautilus Deleting it solved the problem, as the system wide file seems to work. But this arises two questions: 1. How did this file come to my $HOME? 2. Why didn't it work? It seems as if this file is from gnome-2.20. Restoring the local version and setting Hidden=false everything works, too - but not using Hidden=true.
