There's still something weird going on that is related to this.

If I insert media containing photos I expect the command specified by the gconf key /desktop/gnome/volume_manager/autophoto_command to be run.

However, this isn't happening. Instead, nautilus is trying to launch its idea of what should be handling photos and it is broken. It seems to be launching f-spot via /usr/share/applications/f-spot.desktop. I'm not sure where this association with nautilus is made - too many moving parts to understand. However, f-spot can no longer be run in import mode without specifying the --import option and f-spot.desktop is not specifying that option. I just get a dumb usage message in ~/.xsession-errors.

So, shouldn't autophoto_command be used for media containing photos? If not, the association with nautilus needs to be fixed so that f-spot-import is run rather than f-spot.

By the way, it took about 3 hours (for an experienced Linux user) to work out that autophoto_command is being ignored and the problem has something to do with nautilus. So, if the reply is "that shouldn't be happening" can you please give me a nice list of gconf keys to check to try and figure out why it is happening? ;-)

Thanks...

peace & happiness,
