Opening files that start with %

[Shane OConnor - Sun Ireland <Shane Oconnor Sun COM>]

Hi,

It's just been noticed that any file that starts with the '%' character will not 
open in nautilus, gedit or netscape. As all the gconf xml files start with the 
'%' character I was wondering if this was a deliberate thing? Currently the only 
way to view any file that begins with '%' is via vi.

Cheers
Shane
