Description Josh Lee 2005-06-10 15:46:35 UTC 
Distribution/Version: Debian

[I'm not sure where to file this]

Doing this:
	gnome-open my-app.desktop
...opens up my-app.desktop in your text editor. Instead, it should launch the
application, just like if you had double-clicked it.

Reassigning to gnome-vfs, because I think it's probably a bug somewhere below gnome_vfs_url_show.
Comment 2 André Klapper 2010-03-27 17:14:11 UTC 
gnome-vfs is not actively developed anymore and has been replaced by gvfs.

If this is still an issue in a recent GNOME version (2.28 or 2.30) which uses gvfs: Please file a new bug report against gvfs with good steps to reproduce.

Closing as WONTFIX for gnome-vfs.
