Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-menus

When I click on "Home", "Desktop" or any of my bookmarks in the Places menu, I am prompted to enter my administrative password: "The application 'nautilus '/home/user'' lets you modify essential...". The rest of the Places menu works fine, and I can access my home folder without special permissions from an already open Nautilus window.

1) I'm using Intrepid 8.10, upgraded from 8.04.
2) gnome-menus version 2.24.1-0ubuntu1
3) Open my home folder in Nautilus
4) Prompt for my administrative password, and if it is supplied, opens the home folder as root.

Anything else, let me know.
