file preference bug question
I know there is a bug report and a fix for this. I'm looking for the fix. When I select Music or Video, the home folder opens. What is odd is that I set up a second user account on my system, for some visitors. I added the Gnomenu app to the panel, and when I clicked on Music, the music file opened. I loged out and in to my account, clicked on Music and the Home folder opened. Now....what's that all about.....tks Gnomenu 1.9.9 on Ubuntu Jaunty.

This isn't a bug per say s it is a issue with the XML code settings in the theme you are using and your actual file structure under the Home directory.
in the /usr/share/
Now make sure of the following:
That the Directory GnoMenu is told to open exists;
If only the command "Videos" is used then the directory Videos must exist in the user's home directory.
If a path is used then ensure that that path is correct (example: ~/documents/
That GnoMenu is using the correct Command:
Some themes use "Games" as the command instead of Videos or Music, etcetera.
If you need to fix any of the above use "gksu gedit /usr/share/

I checked the xml settings and found they were compliant. I set up another account and the problem did not reoccur. Not sure what happened, so I tried it out on a fresh install, and the problem did not occur there as well. So I solved my problem by moving to the new, working account. I assume there was a system setting issue, I gconf-edit all day long (its fun). Good enough for me. I'll keep trying to make the problem happen again, thats what I do for fun.....break things. Tks for you response, it was very timely.
