That's an unrelated problem. gtk dialogs don't show the dot directories, but if you type: .[first letter]<tab> you'll get the expansion just right as you'd expect it to.

Well, the proliferation of useless links in comparison to the wysiwyg of having your home displayed as the desktop, where you immediately access it... and all of your files always through the nautilus gui is a good argument toward moving that variable to true. It is, by far, less confusing, even to someone with more experience. Please understand that I used to think that way too, until I took a step back and though: hey, ls also shows a huge list... it's hard to find my stuff in that... in fact, it's about as hard... Plus, the visual clutter (when I first changed nautilus to use home as the desktop) instantly forced me into better organizing the home folder. Rui ps: The only problem, so far, is telling evolution to use ~/.evolution instead of ~/evolution :) mutt already looks at .Mail (that was easy enough, of course) which is a series of links to evolution's folders (so i can use mutt to read my mail too), but evolution doesn't seem to have that option. -- + No matter how much you do, you never do enough -- unknown + Whatever you do will be insignificant, | but it is very important that you do it -- Gandhi + So let's do it...?
