[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 511511] Re: Nautilus not start

[Rich howard]

ANOTHER WORK AROUND

I've tried the solutions mentioned above without any luck. So I did a
bit of experimentation and found a workaround.

I copied the "File manager" launcher found in usr/share/application and renamed it. (In my case "File Browser Docky")
I opened the launcher in g-edit:-

sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/"File Browser Docky".desktop
 and edited the entry to look like this
--------------------------------------
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=File Browser
Comment=Browse the file system with the file manager
Exec=nautilus /home
Icon=system-file-manager


Name[en_GB]=File Manager docky

---------------------------------------

Notice that I have added a file path at the end of the Exec line which points the the folder I want to open, change this to the one you want to open. 
for example 
Exec=nautilus /home/reginald/music/sugarcubes
OR
Exec=nautilus /home/ronny/pictures/muckypictures

Save the file and drag it to Docky.

Hope this helps someone.

Rich
