           Summary: Scripts don't work on desktop
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: nautilus
        AssignedTo: seb128 at ubuntu.com
        ReportedBy: vetsel.patrice at wanadoo.fr

Look this simple script :

#!/bin/bash
zenity --title "NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS" --info --text
"$NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS"

Put it on ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts. It show us an environment variable.
If you launch it under nautilus it work. Showing the location of the file(s)
selected.

But it don't work if you launch it on file(s) directly on Desktop (without
directly using nautilus). If you use nautilus to go in your /home/~/Desktop the
script  work.
