Description Jeff Waugh 2003-06-28 21:17:24 UTC 
Expected behaviour:

- i'd expect, when turning desktop_is_home_dir on or off, that the desktop
icons would appear and disappear as soon as you click it

Current behaviour:

- the desktop folder emblem correctly changes
- the icons on the desktop don't appear or disappear (changing from either
state), even though they can be fully functional (when changing from
desktop_is_home_dir = true)

(did i explain this well enough? it almost sounds like bunkus)

Thanks for your bug report! I'll look into it...
Comment 2 Christian Neumair 2005-05-13 17:56:39 UTC 
The code looks a bit tricky...nautilus_window_go_to (win, EEL_DESKTOP_URI) is
called for the desktop window when this key changes, but
nautilus_desktop_directory_instance_init isn't called. Maybe the problem is that
the desktop directory is assumed to have not changed and the same old instance
is still used.

Updating bug information. Milestoning to 2.12, since I think this is a bugfix
rather than a feature addition.
Comment 5 Christian Neumair 2005-09-26 15:19:26 UTC 
Committed, closing.
