Default Weird behaviour in Gnome/F9: "Places->My Home" fails.

Hi,

running F9 with Gnome as GUI. Since a few days, calling the menus
Places->My Home fails with presenting an error popup:


Could not open location 'file:///usr/people/backes/Desktop'
No application is registered as handling this file.

(/usr/people/backes is my home directory). The same happens with
Places->Desktop. See attachment.


On the other hand, klicking "My home" on the desktop runs perfectly.

Similar experiences?

All advice is welcome.

Regards

Joachim Backes <joachim.backes@rhrk.uni-kl.de>

Hi,

I could solve the problem by clicking to some (arbitrary) folder on the
desktop with the right mouse button, the saying: "Open with Other
application" and chosing nautilus as app. Then the places menu has been
repaired for "My Home" and "Desktop".
