    Howto: Fix gnome-do bug where "home folder" does not open Nautilus

    If you've run into this bug post-Intrepid where gnome-do does not do anything after selecting "home folder", I found the solution in this bug thread:
    https://bugs.launchpad.net/do/+bug/290136

    See comment #55 for a permanent solution.

    For a single command fix that persists forever and doesn't require super user privileges, use this command:

    cat /usr/share/applications/nautilus-home.desktop | perl -pe 's/Exec=nautilus --no-desktop/Exec=nautilus --no-desktop ./g;' > $HOME/.local/share/applications/nautilus-home.desktop

    This will basically create a corrected version of the faulty launcher in your home directory which will override the system's launcher.
