Description Allen Kistler 2009-02-13 05:12:32 UTC

Description of problem:
Turning off the desktop by setting GConf /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop to false causes gnome-session to continually attempt to launch nautilus over and over.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-session-2.25.90-1.fc11.i386

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. set apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop to false
  
Actual results:
Desktop disappears.  gnome-session launches nautilus over and over, filling Window List taskbar applet with "Starting File Manager ..." buttons.  Nautilus never successfully launches, however.  Each Nautilus process exits as soon as it starts.

Expected results:
Desktop disappears.

Additional info:
Removing filemanager from GConf /desktop/gnome/session/required_components_list *really* makes the desktop go away.  Ideally gnome-session should be able to figure out that it shouldn't start Nautilus if it's not needed in the first place.

I can't reproduce this problem in current rawhide (admittely because the autorestart for nautilus appears to be broken...)

Comment 3 Mamoru TASAKA 2009-03-12 04:56:50 UTC

Umm.. still reproducible for me with

nautilus-2.25.93-1.fc11.i586
gnome-session-2.25.92-2.fc11.i586
metacity-2.25.144-6.fc11.i586

As suggested in bug 485883 when I comment out the line X-GNOME-AutoRestart
in /usr/share/applications/gnome-nautilus.desktop this issue
disappears for me.

Comment 4 Matthias Clasen 2009-03-12 13:11:18 UTC

Hmm, too bad I can't reproduce this anymore.

Does adding 

AutostartCondition=GNOME /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop

fix things for you ?

Yes. With adding this line in gnome-nautilus.desktop I don't
see this issue.

Comment 6 Matthias Clasen 2009-03-12 15:03:12 UTC

Ok, I've added that in 2.25.93-2.fc11
