selecting nearly all "Places" selections opens the Eye of Gnome Image Viewer

[Vladimir Vooss]

I am a beginner with Ubuntu. I've been trying to create a folder of JPEGs on my MacBookPro as a "WindowsShare" item for use as backgrounds on this Gateway laptop running Ubuntu. This was successful. But after this exercise, I noticed as I clicked on various Places, as part of my learning curbe.... that pesky Eye of the Gnome........ kept popping up, instead of, let's say Desktop, or Documents, etc., etc.

I don't have the means to figure this thing out, so I can't answer "which package" I found this bug which earlier in the evening did not exist.

Thank you very much

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. This particular bug has already been reported and is a duplicate of bug #667071, so it is being marked as such. Please look at the other bug report to see if there is any missing information that you can provide, or to see if there is a workaround for the bug. Additionally, any further discussion regarding the bug should occur in the other report. Feel free to continue to report any other bugs you may find.

The other bug (#667071) has the same thing reported, only there the archive manager opens all the time, and there is another one with VLC opening (669280), and I do experience the same with Shotwell opening for all the places.
