patch to add --nodesktop to nautilus in Beagle.Tile.OpenFolder function (662 bytes, patch)

Description Joshua Nichols 2005-03-23 03:54:18 UTC 
If I choose 'Reveal in file manager', Nautilus opens with the file that it was
supposed to, but it also draws the desktop. Under gnome, this wouldn't be a
problem, but I am using xfce, so this basically replaces my wallpaper, and no
longer allows me to use the xfce context menus accessed through middle and right
clicks. I can also imagine this affecting other window/desktop managers that
don't use nautilus for desktop management.

I would imagine this to be fairly simple to solve. Nautilus would just need to
be called with --no-desktop.

This seems to fix the bug for me.

There are other references to nautilus that should probably have --no-desktop,
but I'm not sure what they do.

I've committed your patch and also fixed up the other nautilus reference. 
Thanks for the contribution!
