https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=220511 ------- Comment #1 from hpj@novell.com 2006-11-13 20:52 MST ------- I don't think this has ever worked, and if it did, it won't do what you expect. Under the circumstances you describe, Nautilus is designed to signal the existing process, telling it to open another window. The fact that this doesn't work if you're root telling the owner of the current session's Nautilus to open another window, may be considered a bug. But even if this was fixed, the new window will not have root privileges. Another possible fix would be to launch a -nodesktop Nautilus window in a separate process, as root. This means root will get a gconfd, etc. The window may look different since root's preferences will be used, not the user's. However, I consider the latter a new feature and not a bug fix. Note that this is complicated by the fact that "root" can be any other user, in theory. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
