Bug Description

-when i create a folder in a natilus window using the "icon view" it does not go automatically into rename mode as it does when i create it on the desktop...since nobody wants a folder called untitled this is very annoying

-when applications are opened from the applications menu they are not brought to the front but placed behind all other windows

-settings are saved for open windows but not for system tray icons like gaim...eg. i have gaim opened (but only in system tray) - then logout. when i login again gaim is not automatically started.

thanks

Note: the original reporter indicated the bug was in package 'gnome-desktop'; however, that package was not published in Ubuntu.

That only happens for sudo applications and is already known.

gaim is not session-aware, you can add it to your startup programs

hi.
in future please only put one problem in a bug report.

this bug can track the first issue. the second issue is probably the gksu bug, Bug #31487 or just the focus stealing prevention feature. and the post above give a work around for the third.

i am unable to reproduce it in dapper. what method did you use to make the new folder? what version of ubuntu are you using?

open a nautilus window in "icon view" - right click and select "create new folder"...now begin typing to change the folder name - it is not focused...

That works fine for me. Current flight version is #7 maybe you could try with it?
