Description Heinrich Rebehn 2004-06-03 14:50:12 UTC 
Description of Problem:

Desktop menue lacks entry "create new window"

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Start nautilus in browser mode (use gconf setting)
2. Right-click on the desktop background
3. A menue pops up

Actual Results:
The menue lacks the entry "open new window" which 
existed in nautilus 2.4


Expected Results:
see above

How often does this happen? 

always
Additional Information:
nautilus 2.6.0

Use of the "Home" icon on the desktop is no
solution because it is often hidden by other
(non-nautilus) windows
Comment 1 Martin Wehner 2004-06-03 19:39:37 UTC 
Please see the discussion in Bug 82463 about this. If you need a shortcut to
open a new window that's always visible, why not create a shortcut in the panel?
Comment 2 Heinrich Rebehn 2004-10-21 10:29:01 UTC 
1. Panel is already crowded.
2. Less mouse movements with background menue
3. Why remove a working feature?
Comment 3 Heinrich Rebehn 2005-03-02 14:18:52 UTC 
You can close this bug.
I am not using gnome anymore.
