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.
