When I open Nautilus in ubuntu 12.04 gnome-session-fallback, it shows two tabs in the panel, one is my Nautilus, the other "starting home folder" (encircled green) stays there for 10-15 seconds and then disappears. I don't want it to appear. Anyone have any idea why this happens and can I have a solution for it?

I had this issue. I found there were two applications called "Files" in /usr/share/applications/ plus one called "Home Folder". The command for these was nautilus %u so I was pretty sure they had something to do with the problem. Anyway, removing these on their own didn't work, so this is what I did:




  1. Open terminal and type alacarte (this opens the menu for editing). Remove "Files" from the "Accessories" menu (it may be there twice, remove both). Close menu.

  2. Type sudo nautilus in terminal, navigate to /usr/share/applications/ and remove both "Files" and "Home Folder" applications.

  3. Log off and on again.

  4. Edit the menu as in step 1 and re-create the "Files" item with the command nautilus %u.

  5. Type nautilus in a terminal, pick any folder and right click on it, select "open with other application", then "browse", then choose the "Files" item you just created.



After step 3 you will not be able to open any folders unless you run the command nautilus in a terminal, steps 4 and 5 fix this.



This worked for me but I have no idea if it is the best/quickest/safest or stupidest way.
