[Pedro Soria-Rodriguez (pedrosoriarodriguez)]

I can confirm this bug.

If the pcmanfm is closed clicking on the "x" on the top-right corner, there's no problem and clicking on a desktop folder will open a new pcmanfm window.

if the pcmanfm window is closed with CTRL-W, then pcmanfm does not open when clicking a desktop folder.

[Pedro Soria-Rodriguez (pedrosoriarodriguez)]

I notice this bug is no longer present in Lubuntu 13.04 (which comes with pcmanfm 1.1.0-0ubuntu2).
I guess this got fixed in the new pcmanfm, and this bug report can probably be closed now.

[voidvector (voidvector)]

Yes, it has been fixed in the newer version of pcmanfm. I have changed it to fixed.
