After installing Fedora 11 nautilus now always open in the top left corner with a default size. This only happens when the "always open in browser windows" option is selected. In Fedora 10 nautilus remembered window size and position. [dennis@nexus ~]$ rpm -q nautilus nautilus-2.26.3-1.fc11.x86_64
The same problem here: nautilus-2.26.3-2.fc11.x86_64, Fedora 11. Works correctly with Nautilus 2.26.1 in Ubuntu 9.04.
same here nautilus.i586 2.26.4-2.fc11
And it is still happening on Rawhide with nautilus-2.28.0-3.fc12.i686. This is probably a really simple thing but totally gets into my daily work :( Up until this weekend I actually built my own GNOME from source so I already used upstream GNOME 2.28 and I have not experienced the same problem with this, so this has to be Fedora specific.
This problem is also present in Fedora 12 beta.
I do not see why this cannot be fixed. This information is available easily. Even xwininfo returns this. Unfortunately I do not have the time to dig in nautilus code to do it. Nobody seems to follow this bug. In more info required or what? Thanks
I found this workaround: > The Problem was, that the gconf-key /apps/nautilus/preferences/navigation_window_saved_geometry was missing. > > So create a new one (type: string) with an inital value of e.g. > "600x400+100+100".

Peeter, you're a life-saver! :) So it seems this key is missing in system key definitions. This could be very easy to fix.
Almost there. This does not remember the window size for different folders. I.e. if I launch computer or home or a link that I had made on the desktop returns the same position and size for all. The default behaviour in f10 was to remember the window size for each different source. I.e. if I start computer,downlaods link, or network I would get different sizes and positions. Still an improvement, thanks Peeter.
This still occurs in Fedora 12, but workaround posted by Peeter Puusemp worked for me perfectly.
Worked for me too.
For those googling a quick solution to this problem, you may copy and paste this command. gconftool-2 \ --set "/apps/nautilus/preferences/navigation_window_saved_geometry" \ --type string "800x600+0+0" Executed this from my personal user (non-root) account which I assume set it in m local gconf database and it appears to work. Cheers,
This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '11'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This issue is still present even in Fedora 13.
The Problem is that the gconf-key /apps/nautilus/preferences/navigation_window_saved_geometry was missing. So create a new one (type: string) with an inital value of e.g. "600x400+100+100". When Nautilus is closed for the next time it saves its position and size in this key.
It seems this problem has been fixed upstream.
