[Bug 35997] Re: Gnome's Places menu starts Konqueror instead of Nautilus

[Ralf Nieuwenhuijsen]

"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.
