Just a guess, you may be getting bit by the bug, er, I mean "feature", in the latest gtk+ file selector that insists on selecting the first subfolder in a folder. So if you select "Home" in the folder hierarchy tabs or double click the bookmark for your home directory, it will open ~/, but the first folder will be selected. So clicking "Open" will cause that subfolder to be selected, rather than "Home". You'll need to ctrl-click the subfolder to de-select it, then click "Open". > > > > -- > > fedora-test-list mailing list > > fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx > > To unsubscribe: > > http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list > > -- > > ======================================================================= > Common sense is the most evenly distributed quantity in the world. > Everyone thinks he has enough. > -- Descartes, 1637 > ------------------------------------------- > Aaron Konstam > Computer Science > Trinity University > One Trinity Place. > San Antonio, TX 78212-7200 > > telephone: (210)-999-7484 > email:akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxx >
