gnome quicklaunch
Hello,
I am having a problem and was wondering if someone might be able to help
me out. I have a quicklaunch applet on my gnome panel. Interestingly,
when i start xterm or axyftp from the quicklaunch, /root shows up as the
default home directory:
satchel[/root]%
I tried removing ~/.gnome/quicklaunch completely and creating a new one,
but ran into the same problem. I also removed it from the panel, shut
down and placed a fresh quicklauncher with the same result. I thought
that it may be a permissions problem and I did a recursive chmod 770
~/.gnome to give user access to the necessary directories. Again, this
approach failed.
What is strange is that when I start quicklaunch_applet from a console
as user, it places the launcher on the panel, and when i open xterm or
axyftp the default is my home directory:
satchel[~]%
I am not sure why this is happening, and I was wondering if anyone could
suggest something to remedy this problem. I looked at man
quicklaunch_applet and it did not give any indication for why this may
be happening. Thanks in advance for any help with this.
