[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 576731] Re: Gnome-do fails to open Home folder

[Eric Hickman]

I did some work, made a python script to run gnome-do from startup
applications in debug mode and capture the output. I will post the
script, and the two output files I obtained.

First, gnome-do-output-autostart, is the debug output from starting
gnome-do from the python script auto-started.

Second, gnome-do-output-terminal, is the debug output from starting
gnome-do from the terminal "gnome-do --debug >> gnome-do-output-
terminal"

In both the auto-started output and terminal started output no reference
to opening the home folder is present, even though there are reference
to opening the Music folder and the enhickman folder (myuser's
homefolder).

Which brings me to my second point,
When auto-starting: I can not open the home folder through the home folder dialog (typing 'home' then 'ENTER') But I can open the home folder by explicitly choosing the enhickman folder (typing 'enhi' then 'ENTER')

When starting from the terminal: I can open the user home folder both
ways that is (typing 'home' then pressing 'ENTER' or typing 'enhi' then
pressing 'ENTER')

So gnome-do can open the home folder from autostart just not from the
'Home Folder' menu item.

lastly to understand the gnome-do output files it should be known that in both I did 3 things in this order
1: Open music folder (typing 'music' then pressing 'ENTER')
2: Open home folder (typing 'home' then pressing 'ENTER')
3: Open home folder (typing 'enhi' then pressing 'ENTER')

As stated before there is no mention of opening anything in either
output file during the time that I attempted to open the home folder as
in (2: from above) even though the Home Folder menu item is successfully
opened when gnome-do is started from terminal and Home Folder menu item
fails to open when gnome-do is auto-started.

** Attachment added: "python script to start gnome-do I used chmod 755 on it and add 'python /home/enhickman/gnome-do.py' to auto started applications"

Bug description:
Binary package hint: gnome-do

If you trigger Gnome-do and type "Home", "Home Folder" pops up. If you hit enter, you'll see "Starting Home Folder" in the window list, but nautilus never loads. This does not happen to any other shortcut saved such as the Documents folder.
