The version of Cairo-Dock: 2.1.3-10-lucid
GNU/Linux distribution: Ubuntu 10.04
Using OpenGL.
Window manager: Compiz-fusion
Desktop Environment Gnome
How to reproduce the bug:

Add Cairo to the "Startup Programs" list (doesn't matter if you just use "cairo-dock -o" or the "15 second" wait trick).
Add a custom (or drag-dropped) launcher for nautilus
Log out and log back in

The launcher will not launch Nautilus

Quit CD
Start CD from the Applications > Accessories menu

The launcher WILL launch Cairo

An "environment recorder" launcher used to log the environment, shows the exact same environment for a launched process for both ways of starting CD...

EXCEPT that when started via autostart the environment has a DESKTOP_AUTOSTART_ID variable!!

Soooooooo

Using the command

unset DESKTOP_AUTOSTART_ID && nautilus

in the launcher, makes Nautilus start

Hope that helps people

Hello,

I don't have this bug on Ubuntu Maverick. There were a similar bug (we had to click twice to open a directory with Nautilus) but it was due to GVFS and I think it's now fixed with the latest version of GVFS.

But thank you for this tip

I do have this bug with Shortcuts;
the very first time you click on a disk, nautilus doesn't start.
I think I don't have it for a regular nautilus launcher though
