Description Rick Wilt 2002-11-23 21:28:07 UTC 
Package: nautilus
Severity: minor
Version: 2.0.6-6
Synopsis: mount generates desktop icon on all desktop instances
Bugzilla-Product: nautilus
Bugzilla-Component: Desktop

Description:
Description of Problem:
When multiple X sessions are running with multiple nautilus desktops,
multiple new icons appear when a new mount is attached.  E.g., if one
console session is active and two Xvnc sessions are active, then user
mounts a smb share or a CD, three icons will appear on all X terminals.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Launch X console, launch VNC Server (either manual or -inet)
2. Launch appropriate VNC Viewer on remote console
3. Mount a share or CD
4. Note there will be two desktop icons created for the new resource

Actual Results:
N mount icons on each desktop, where N is the number of instances of the
nautilus desktop.

Expected Results:
One mount icon on each desktop, regardless of nautilus desktop
instances.

How often does this happen?
Very repeatable.  Attempted with 2, 3, and 4 desktop instances.

This could be related to bug 99502
Comment 2 Mark Finlay 2003-01-10 21:53:38 UTC 
I can see how this would happen, each nautilus sees the new
media and creates a launcher for it in the desktop directory.

Nautilus would need to be made check if an icon has already
been created.
