GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 334860
Weird "x-nautilus-desktop" in the Places menu
Last modified: 2006-04-14 11:58:43 UTC
Please describe the problem: I have a weird x-nautilus-desktop menu entry in Places menu. Clicking on it opens ~/Desktop directory, but the title of the new nautilus window is still x-nautilus-desktop. I'm using Nautilus-2.14.0 Steps to reproduce: Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Other information: Screenshot coming...

Thanks for your bug report! The location you are displaying is "x-nautilus-desktop:///", i.e. the special location of the desktop. It contains your volumes, some special links and everything in ~/Desktop. You probably pressed ctrl-D on the desktop and accidentally bookmarked it. Let's block that accelerator.

If you browse to the location of the desktop, "x-nautilus-desktop" also shows up in nautilus' history list.
Arthur: I'd like to keep that behavior, because it is correct. Users are not supposed to browse to "x-nautilus-desktop:///", and we can use it for debugging purposes.
Opps, sorry, I thought 'x-nautilus-desktop' was showing up in nautilus's history if I browsed to the location of the desktop (/home/user/Desktop), but it doesn't. My bad.
Patch was commmitted, closing.
*** Bug 330594 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
The patch seems not have been commited as I still see the same bug in 2.14.1
It was commited but if you have an existing bookmark, it won't go magically away. You can't just accidentily bookmark the desktop anymore.
The problem is I just tested to do a ctrl+D on the desktop and it bookmarked x-nautilus-desktop. I didn't had the bookmark before. I'm using nautilus 2.14.1
Setting patch status to accepted-commit_now because it wasn't committed (the ChangeLog claims it was, though). Sorry, it was my fault. I'm not on a box with CVS access ATM so I can't commit it myself, maybe you could do it Martin?
So, it's in now: 2006-04-14 Martin Wehner <martin.wehner@gmail.com> * src/nautilus-spatial-window.c: (action_add_bookmark_callback): Don't add location bookmark for desktop windows. Fixes #334860. Patch from Christian Neumair <chris@gnome-de.org>
