Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

The title summarizes it. However, to elaborate, clicking on "Desktop", "Documents", "Music", "Pictures", "Videos", and "Downloads" does the same thing. Clicking on "Computer" works as intended. If I try to open a drive from the "Places" menu option, it will also open VLC instead. The "Search for Files", "Network", and "Connect to Server" options also work as intended.

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.

Bug #667071 is the same bug, but with Archive manager opening all times, so something is changing folder associations to the wrong application. Please see comment 10 of bug #667071 for a workaround.
