Nautilus and .desktop files in gnome vfolders

[Andre Schaefer <schaefer is informatik uni-duisburg de>]

Hello,

I have freshly installed gnome 2.6.0 on debian woody with backports and 
XFree 4.3.

I have used garnome to compile the lot.

My main problem is, that nautilus does not know how to handle .desktop 
or .disk files in the locations

computer:///
start-here:///
etc.

Elsewhere nautilus seems to be quite happy and knows how to handle 
things in
fonts:///
themes:///

or my personal multimedia data.

So the Mime system or Bonobo seem to work in general but fail in htat 
very respect.

in .xsession-errors I find these:

(nautilus:4346): Eel-WARNING **: "nautilus-metafile.c: metafiles" hash 
table still has 3 elements at quit time (keys above)

--- Hash table keys for warning below:
--> computer:///
--> preferences:///
--> start-here:///

(nautilus:4346): Eel-WARNING **: "nautilus-directory.c: directories" 
hash table
still has 3 elements at quit time (keys above)

(nautilus:4346): Bonobo-WARNING **: Leaked a total of 26 refs to 22 
bonobo object(s)

** (nautilus:4346): WARNING **: CORBA_ORB_destroy: ORB still has 2 refs.

** (nautilus:4346): WARNING **: ORB: a total of 137 refs to ORB objects 
were leaked

any ideas?
