2013-06-24 14:02:59 Phillip Susi summary Open/save file dialog places wrong pkexec needs ability to retain user HOME and possibly other environment
2013-06-24 14:04:05 Phillip Susi description Binary package hint: gnome Ubuntu 8.04 alpha 4 i386 desktop CD In gparted, after performing an operation, I clicked "save Details" in the "Applying pending operations" dialog. The "Save Details" file dialog offered "root" and the filesystems in the Places list on the left. No "Desktop", "Documents" and such. I saved the (HTML) file to "root". Then I wanted to open this file in Firefox, by selecting menu "File / Open file..." in firefox. Its "Open File" dialog had the following items in "Places" : Search Recently Used Desktop rofs cdrom (the filesystems: disk partitions and one USB key) Documents Music Pictures Videos No "root". Not even under "Recently Used". Or any other item. (I did not try Search). I simply could not find the file I saved 1 minute ago. Launching gui applications with pkexec strips their environment bare and points the home directory to /root, causing the gnome file dialog to behave badly. It needs a way to preserve the user home the way sudo and gksu do.
