Public bug reported: In 15.04, Nautilus' desktop name was changed from nautilus.desktop to org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop. Currently, org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop is set as NoDisplay=true and nautilus.desktop isn't, meaning that the old shortcut appears in the Unity menu instead of the new shortcut. This also means that when you remove the default Nautilus icon from favorites and re-add it by dragging the icon from the "Installed Applications" section in the Unity menu, the window matching won't work properly. You'll get a separate file icon that pops up whenever you launch it.
Expected fix: Set nautilus.desktop to NoDisplay=true and remove that line from org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop This is related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1436297 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 15.04 Package: nautilus 1:3.14.2-0ubuntu8 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.19.0-10.10-generic 3.19.2 Uname: Linux 3.19.0-10-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 2.17-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Wed Apr 1 09:36:33 2015 GsettingsChanges: b'org.gnome.nautilus.list-view' b'default-column-order' b"['name', 'size', 'type', 'date_modified', 'date_accessed', 'owner', 'group', 'permissions', 'mime_type', 'where']" InstallationDate: Installed on 2015-01-20 (71 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 15.04 "Vivid Vervet" - Alpha amd64 (20150119) SourcePackage: nautilus UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug vivid ** Summary changed: - Use the new desktop name for Nautilus in Applications menu + Use the new desktop shortcut for Nautilus in Applications menu -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1439309 Title: Use the new desktop shortcut for Nautilus in Applications menu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1439309/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
