GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 77875
dragging start-here or trash icons from desktop to panel does weird stuff
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
if you drag start here from the desktop to the panel and launch it from the panel, if will try to open it using the default web page handler and in my case opens http://www.start-here.com/ in mozilla. dragging the trash from the desktop to the panel does two weird things 1. The trash icon doesn't appear on the panel and instead thedefault no-icon icon appears. 2. clicking on the trash icon on the panel to launch the trash gives this error: --- Nautilus has no installed viewer capable of displaying "/root/Trash". --- These problem only appear with these nautilus specific .desktop files. draggin file folders seems to work just fine and dandy.
Is this gnome-vfs weirdness? Anyway, not a huge deal, but probably needs to be made to work for .0.
Alex, Jacob: is this gnome-vfs or nautilus or what?
*** Bug 84457 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
The icons are nautilus specific, so i don't expect anything else to handle them: X-Nautilus-Icon=trash-full The type is also nautilus specific: Type=X-nautilus-trash and: Type=X-nautilus-home So the panel doesn't know what to do with them.
OK, making this 2.0.0 because of the (amusing) side effect of bug 84457. :) There is also a patch in that bug, which the release team has already approved.
Of course, that patch will make opening start-here ass-slow.
So then can we have another one, alex? :)
Created attachment 9072 [details] [review] Schemas patch for gnome-libs to make gnome_url_show handle start-here: desktop: etc.. urls
Created attachment 9073 [details] [review] New patch that also handles trash:
Andersca, can you take a look at the patch and apply it to libgnome for 2.0.0.
Fixed in libgnome: 2002-06-08 Alexander Larsson <alla@lysator.liu.se> * schemas/desktop_gnome_url_handlers.schemas: Add handlers for start-here, preferences, system-settings, server-settings, applications, and trash. They all default to nautilus. Fixes bug 77875.
