I think the problem may have been that the arrow button is not as intuitive for the super-user as it is for the ordinary user. When an Unix user uses the GTK file dialog as an ordinary user, he can see clearly that the arrow is hiding the rest of the hierarchy because it's well visible only part of the file path is being shown. As a super-user however, it may no longer be noticeable the connection between the arrow to the file path line since it's directly located under root. Either way, hiding the root dir for the root user has no purpose since you're not reducing the file path line anyway, and it's annoying, so I'd get rid of it. Let's see what Gnome guys have to say about this though. Anyway, from the Yast GTK UI, to avoid the issue, "/" will be added to the navigator side bar shortcuts, in case it's not there. -- 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.
