Description Adam Dingle 2011-04-02 18:00:30 UTC 
I'm using Nautilus 2.91.93 on Fedora 15 alpha.

I've set the Nautilus show-desktop-icons key to true since I want Nautilus to show icons on the desktop like in the good old days.  With this key set, if I double click any icon on the desktop that represents a folder, Nautilus opens the folder in a full-screen view that covers the enter desktop background rather than in an ordinary window as expected.  Once that happens, there's no escape: I have to kill Nautilus to be able to see the usual desktop background and icons again.

(s/enter desktop background/entire desktop background/, in case that's not obvious)
