Re: [gnome-flashback] Nautilus preferences menu hidden in Ubuntu Xenial

[Alberts Muktupāvels <alberts muktupavels gmail com>]

All I can say is that this is not upstream problem. GNOME Flashback 3.18 + Nautilus 3.14 has never been tested nor supported. If you have missing menus only in nautilus that could indicate some problem with patches in nautilus...

1) Example:
0002-Only-use-a-header-bar-in-GNOME-shell.patch
if (desktop && strstr (desktop, "GNOME")) - this is true for "GNOME-Flashback:Unity" so header bar is enabled also in flashback session, but it should not.

2) Example:
15_use-ubuntu-help.patch

if (!g_strcmp0(g_getenv("XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP"), "Unity")) - this is false for "GNOME-Flashback:Unity", but most likely we want ubuntu help in flashback session.

Then 16_unity_new_documents.patch and ubuntu_tracker_only_on_GNOME.patch has similar if. And this is only in nautilus...

Ubuntu really should stop using "GNOME-Flashback:Unity" as XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP... But most likely it is too late to change this for 16.04.

I had not noticed this until it was mentioned at Ubuntu Forums but in Xenial you can't access location options as you could in Trusty, so there is no easy way edit preferences. I wonder if it's a regression to this behavior:

I'll gladly file a new bug report if requested.

Thanks in advance,
