2008-08-22 22:12:40 Carlos Perelló Marín gnome-panel: statusexplanation thank you for your bug report. are you sure you did assign this software to directories in nautilus? I don't remember doing such thing but taking a look to any folder properties shows me that gthum is selected as the default application to open it. Changing it back to nautilus fixes the problem. If I'm the only one seeing this behaviour, I guess I did such change by mistake...

Changing it back to nautilus fixes the problem. If I'm the only one seeing this behaviour, I guess I did such change by mistake... Setting the status of this bug back to confirmed. The problem is that "upgrade-manager -d" unintentionally switched our configurations to launch various programs in-place of nautilus. I also do not believe that the package 'gnome-panel' is necessarily at fault, but don't have a clue where the root is.
2008-09-21 16:44:16 Dereck Wonnacott description Binary package hint: gnome-panel Since my upgrade to Intrepid, every time I select 'Home folder' from the Places menu, I get a gthum window instead of the usual Nautilus one. Since my upgrade to Intrepid, every time I select 'Home folder' from the Places menu, I get a gthum window instead of the usual Nautilus one.

2008-09-21 17:06:06 Dereck Wonnacott description Since my upgrade to Intrepid, every time I select 'Home folder' from the Places menu, I get a gthum window instead of the usual Nautilus one. After using 'upgrade-manager -d" to Intrepid, something during the upgrade prosses unintentionally hijacked our configurations to launch various programs in-place of nautilus for opening folders from the places menu. I do not believe that the package 'gnome-panel' is necessarily at fault, but don't have a clue where the root cause is as I don't understand how the places menu works, however Tuomas Aavikko's workaround gave me success in fixing the issue: Right click on a folder in nautilus ->Open with app-> File Manager Now I can open my home folder from the places menu again. So it seems that there is a file extension for folders that is being hijacked by the installation / upgrade of other packages such as VLC, gthumb, totem, amarok, kaffeine, Konqueror, Archiver Manager.

Doing modification in the users home directory is always risky, I would rather want to add a upgrade note and attach a script to that (like we did for the fusa applet migration).

Doing modification in the users home directory is always risky, I would rather want to add a upgrade note and attach a script to that (like we did for the fusa applet migration). I think the right fix for this needs to be implemented in gnome-panel (we discussed that in #ubuntu-desktop).
