Hi There,

I started having 2 major problems on my desktop. I'm currently using testing with Arch.. When I click anything in the Applications->Places menu, all of them give an error like this:

Could not open location 'file:///pub'

But if I enter that partition through Nautilus, it opens without any problem.

Another problem is that, when I minimize the window, it slows down a little bit then it minimizes.. It stops for a few milliseconds then continue.. But one can understand that there's a problem going on..

I don't know where to look or where to start.. Hope somebody will help me..
This task depends upon

Could you test with the latest 2.12.6-2 version of glib2? I reverted an upstream change in GKeyfile that broke all file associations for GNOME applications. The error message you get is the same I get with opening files with the old version of glib2, so it could be related.

Yes it's got solved.. The only problem I got is the slowdown of the minimize windows function.. I don't know why it happens but it's really annoying..

What videocard and driver do you use, and do you use something like compositing or EXA? Some videodrivers can be very slow with some effects.

I'm using NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440 Go on my HP NX 9105 laptop. I use the NVIDIA driver:

[14:05] (tunix@penguix ~)$ pacman -Qs nvidia
local/nvidia 1.0.9631-1
NVIDIA drivers for Arch kernel.
local/nvidia-utils 1.0.9631-1
NVIDIA drivers utilities and libraries.

I attach my xorg.conf file, hope it helps..
(application/octet-stream)    xorg.conf (4.5 KiB)

Does the slowdown still occur? I don't have an idea what could be the problem, could be it's some issue in the nvidia driver or so, your configuration file doesn't look wrong to me.
