"the home directory magically becomes the desktop" Yeah, if it can't find the desk it does just that. There is actually identical behaviour with the Documents directory. If that exists with that exact name, file-dialogs default to it. Interesting side-node: on localized desktops the file dialogs will work differently.
All in all there are lots of bugs related to the gnome-panel doing weird stuff. May I suggest that all this special folder crap is just stipped from its code? Completely. Why would there be code to have a 'desktop' or 'documents' entry, when there is a bookmark system in place that works fine? Esspecially with localization now. With dutch localisation the desktop is called differently between the xdg-user-dirs-localization and the gnome-panel- language-template. Considering all the issuess, especially with localisation. Why not just remove all that code? Just make the places start with nautilus-books, and then the rest. No magical 'folders'. No magical behavior. We have xdg-user-dirs and we have nautilus-bookmarks. We really don't need al those extra hacks that just break it down everwhere. But can we convice upstream? -- Duplicated entries in Places Menu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/122602 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
