Description Jason 2010-03-19 06:27:10 UTC 
see BUG 601476

~/.nautilus is totally optical now, but nautilus still try to create this dir every time. and that will be very annoying.

the problem exist in libnautilus-private/nautilus-file-utilities.c, there  defined a value NAUTILUS_USER_DIRECTORY_NAME, but i did not see anywhere else use this environment value.

to solve this, delete nautilus_get_user_directory() directly works. or just delete "g_mkdir (user_directory, DEFAULT_NAUTILUS_DIRECTORY_MODE);"

nautilus without ~/.nautilus
Comment 3 Jason 2010-03-19 07:03:48 UTC 
can not delete nautilus_get_user_directory() directly.

it's said ~/.nautilus is not used, but the fact is nautilus_get_user_directory() is still needed in nautilus-customization-data.c, nautilus-file-utilities.c, nautilus-property-browser.c and nautilus-application.c

the easiest way to get rid of ~/.nautilus is change this dir to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nautils. see the patch. just need change g_get_home_dir() to g_get_user_config_dir()

Why open a new bug, when the patch does just do what bug 601476 proposes?

i thought i find a new way to do this, but nautilus still need nautilus_get_user_directory(), so back to the patch posted before.

and the discribetion of the bug is not very correctly in bug 601476
