Description eagsalazar 2004-08-01 01:55:52 UTC 
I double click on "computer" on my desktop and nautilus will not open.  Instead
I get a popup error saying:

"The Catalog view encountered an error while starting up.
The location cannot be displayed with this viewer."

I get the same error if try to type in computer:// in the location bar also.
Comment 1 eagsalazar 2004-08-02 19:08:37 UTC 
This apparrently is related to having gthumb installed since gthumb has a
catalog view that nautilus tries to use.  This is also probably related to
149094 since once I uninstalled gthumb nautilus started working on these special
folders but was still ignoring my default setting to use list view.  I could be
that nautilus is always using an internal list for these locations to select the
views and the order of that list is (catalog, icon, list).  I don't know.
Comment 2 puterwzzrd 2004-08-04 07:57:02 UTC 
Might be that nautilus uses the first alphabetically listed viewer as a default,
being Catalog (if installed)? Uninstalling gthumb solved the problem (phew),
making nautilus falling back to icon view (even though my gconf key says the
default view should be list_view. Does nautilus actually check for the gconf key
atm?
