Description Alexander Kirillov 2003-02-10 21:50:43 UTC 
Right-clicking on an icon on the desktop (e.g., floppy icon) and choosing
"Properties" shows properties of floppy.desktop file: 

type: application launcher
size: 145 bytes
location: /home/kirillov/.gnome-desktop

which makes this dialog completely useless! Of course, what I want to see -
and what previous versions of Nautilus showed - are properties of the
target, i.e. /mnt/floppy directory

This works for me with nautilus 2.3.90...

not sure if the following is the exact ChangeLog entry... it's what
has matched a search for 'desktop' and 'properties' :)

	* src/file-manager/fm-properties-window.c (fm_properties_window_present):
	Handle the case when the data is alreay ready.
	This fixes properties on the home icon on the desktop.
