Hey folks,

I had KDE installed (kubuntu maverick), and moved to Gnome (to support screen dimming on my dell laptop).

Now, when I click on Places and anything (say Desktop), Krusader starts up (I set krusader to the default in KDE).

Where do I change this? I can't find the location in preferences to change this.

TIA
Mike

if you now have gnome and kde installed you can select from boot which one you want

To choose Nautilus as the default app for opening folders:

Open the file "~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list" and lookup the entry for "inode/directory", it should be like this:

inode/directory=nautilus-folder-handler.desktop;
Greetings.
