Description Paul W. Elsinghorst 2005-01-11 09:28:00 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
When I log in using GDM the SMB support in nautilus is broken. It shows up some
content but doesn't recognize the shares and fails to browse them. When starting
with gnome-session called by startx everything works fine and I can browse SMB

Steps to reproduce:
1. Everytime
2. 
3. 


Actual results:
As described above.

Expected results:
I'd like to login with GDM and be able to browse SMB.

Does this happen every time?
Yes

what version of nautilus are you using ? do you have any error in
~/.xsession-errors ?
Comment 2 Paul W. Elsinghorst 2005-02-01 07:00:03 UTC 
I got it fixed.

When using non standard locations for the mime-database like I do with
/opt/gnome/share/mime one needs to set XDG_DATA_DIRS explicitly. The GDM
Xsession reads ~/.profile but not ~/.bash_profile. Linking the files did the job.

So this bug wasn't really a bug of nautilus but of GDM.
