Description of problem: The Nautilus file manager does not obey the window_always_new setting in GConf. Even when it is unset, double clicking on a directory icon still opens a new window. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.8.1-4 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use the GConf editor to uncheck the window_always_new checkbox at /apps/nautilus/preferences/window_always_new 2. Open the Home directory with Nautilus. 3. Open a sub-directory in that window. Actual results: New window. Expected results: Reuse Home directory's window. Additional info: This worked in Fedora Core 2. I have upgraded from FC2 to FC3. I even tried "killall nautilus" but the new instance still did not obey the checkbox setting.
Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thank you!
Closing per lack of response to previous request for information. This bug was originally filed against a much earlier version of Fedora Core, and significant changes have taken place since the last version for which this bug is confirmed. Note that FC3 and FC4 are supported by Fedora Legacy for security fixes only. Please install a still supported version and retest. If it still occurs on FC5 or FC6, please reopen and assign to the correct version. Otherwise, if this a security issue, please change the product to Fedora Legacy. Thanks, and we are sorry that we did not get to this bug earlier.
