"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
