The machine setup (partitioning, permissions of /home, for instance) could influence runtime behaviour, too. It may not even be a bug in Nautilus either, since other components take care of stopping/starting it (e.g. gnome-tweak-tool and gnome-shell). What happens if you kill all "nautilus" processes, then start a terminal (e.g. gnome-terminal) in a way that it starts in $HOME, then run "nautilus --no-default-window" manually? Does it also cwd to /? Or does it stay in $HOME? (you can also run it without options just in case) -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
