Description Mark Finlay 2003-08-25 13:41:55 UTC

I've tested this on 2 sepporate machines, one on rh8 and one on rh9.

When (but not always) I click on a folder on the desktop, it will open,
but so will a window showing $HOME. If i close the window with $HOME
then the icon view in the other folder will crash.

Also, right-clicking in the folder that i opened from the desktop
will crash it.

This may be to do with $HOME as desktop. I'm not sure...

Well actually i just get the "icon view has encountered an error"
dialog and the icon view disappears.

Trace when i right-click:
