Description Alexander “weej” Jones 2005-06-03 21:46:57 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
I often browse with Nautilus, but when I log out and save my session, when I log
back in the windows that were previously browser windows are now spacial windows.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Start a new browsing session
2. Log out and save your session
3. Resume session


Actual results:
Spacial nautilus window is spawned for the folder that was previously open as a
browser window.

Expected results:
Browser window opened.

Does this happen every time?
Yes.

Other information:
No.

Trying to work on this bug

Bug only happens when gconf entry always_use_browser=false.

The bug is in save-session function in nautilus-application.c. There are no
checks to see if window is spatial or browser. There also needs a way to open a
some urls in spatial mode and some in browser mode from commandline, since
gnome_client_set_restart_command function is being used. So something like:
nautilus --open-spatial <url-list> --open-browser <url-list>

Could you confirm this bug?
Comment 3 Pawel Sliwowski 2005-06-10 02:30:19 UTC 
Yes, set always_use_browser=false in gconf and open window in browser mode.
Logoff and save session. Log back in, window is spatial and not browser. I
comfirm the bug in the cvs source by looking at the code. I mention where the
problem is in the code in last post, and I am trying to write a patch for it.
Comment 4 Alexander “weej” Jones 2005-06-10 18:48:53 UTC 
always_use_browser is false by default isn't it?
Comment 5 Pawel Sliwowski 2005-06-10 23:22:55 UTC 
Yep, on every distro I been on.
Comment 6 Alexander “weej” Jones 2005-11-30 11:50:24 UTC 
Pawel, how far have you got on this? I might have a stab at it...
Comment 7 Christian Neumair 2006-03-16 19:53:02 UTC 
This is the result of a lack of proper session management which is fixed by the attachment of bug 334215. Marking as duplicate.
