On my system I have both gnome 2.26 and kde 4.3.1 installed but after the installation of kde4 if I click, in gnome, on Places->Home dolphin is opened instead of nautilus, I partially solved the issue doing : in kde4 settings -> default applications -> file manager, set it to 'file browser' This makes me open gnome's places with nautilus, however if I open a kde4 session and go to K->Computer->Home , nautilus is opened. I think that somehow each DE should use its default file-manager. The problem I think is that gnome "uses" the kde4 file manager setting Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.install both gnome-2.26 and then kde-4.3.1 2.in gnome open places->home 3. Actual Results: kde4 file manager setting is used by gnome Expected Results: each DE should have its "private" file manager setting emerge --info Portage 2.1.6.13 (default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop,

I added also kde@gentoo.org to cc since I really don't know if the cause of this problem is in GNOME or in KDE.
I reported this problem on gnome and kde bugzilla : https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=211090 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=598934
This is classical problem I suffered years ago with thunar that is not fixed because no upstream wants to resolve it (xfce blame on gnome, gnome blame on xfce... well, you know...) anyway, I don't think this is a regression over previous gnome-panel versions
I think that this is a dupe of: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=170630 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=418760 http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3016 well, all of them like to blame on my setup, but I really disagree since I have seen many other people suffering this problem even on different distributions (like mandriva) Seems that, after installing a new file manager, it's "preferred" by gnome-panel over nautilus, and you can workaround the problem simply re-selecting nautilus as default, if I don't misremember you can change application for opening folder simply righ clicking on a folder

The problem in actual configuration is that there isn't a solution to use on the same profile nautilus as default file manager only for gnome, and dolphin as default file manager only for kde4.
The problem that I don't understand is why other file managers take precedence over nautilus :-/, seems that it occurs just after installing new file manager, and I have seen a similar problem with eog and gthumb (getting gthumb as default jus after installing it), but I haven't investigate it :-(
(In reply to comment #6) > The problem that I don't understand is why other file managers take precedence > over nautilus :-/, sounds like bug #242460, see dang's explanation of the problem. If the application does not handle user's preferences, then it will always fail to select the proper/sensible program.
Good catch, maybe http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=242460#c19 could solve this
