Bug Description
I just previously this afternoon placed a question on launchpad that went as follows:
"Problems with Nautilus (in 'Places' menu)
I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 8.10. My 'places' menu items worked for awhile. I just recently noticed that they do not show all my hard drives, partitions, etc (I do dual boot w/ Windows XP) & when (say) I click on 'network' in the places side bar I get: "Could not display "network:///" Nautilus cannot handle "network" locations. OK"
I get similar results (i.e. relating to a nautilus error) when I click on cd rom (& it only "sees" one of my cd/dvd players).
I made some changes, i.e., downloaded/
(snip)
I would now add; My trash icon at the bottom tray is gone, & some other problems with opening some files, etc.
After doing some research, came to realize this is probably a 'desktop' problem (GNOME). Now, for many years, I have used Macintosh OS & with that system, if one deletes the desktop, it is automatically rebuilt during a reboot... this is indeed, a way to restore a corrupted desktop. Anyway, back to the problem at hand, recently I discovered that 'Network Manager' was apparently causing my Firefox browser to boot with the 'Work Offline' option ON. So I uninstalled it through Synaptic Package Manager... (that problem, solved), one of the options to uninstall, just before I did this was (if I remember correctly) SPM would also take out the desktop (& some other files/dependenc
Suggestions, questions, directions much appreciated. Thanks.

thank you for your bug report, that's rather a question than a bug though since it seems you uninstalled some gvfs components you are trying to use now
