Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus-open-terminal

I updated my Ubuntu 9.04 to 9.10 (not a new install), and now "open in terminal" has disappeared from the context menu. I tried removing and reinstalling nautilus-actions and nautilus-open-terminal, but that didn't help. I have tried running nautilus from a teriminal, to see if I could get some debugging output, but the closest I got was

(nautilus:10785): Eel-CRITICAL **: eel_preferences_get_boolean: assertion `preferences_is_initialized ()' failed
Initializing nautilus-open-terminal extension

I also have RabbitVCS installed - this seems to work just fine.

I am using nautilus-open-terminal version 0.17-1 (installed from binary, not source).

More details: If I stop nautilus (with "nautilus -q") I get the following output:

One other note: The two lines of output mentioned in my original posting ("Eel-CRITICAL..." and "Initializing nautilus-open-terminal...") appear BEFORE any attempt to use the context menu, or even open a directory - with a very small but noticeable delay between them.

Update: I have meanwhile "fixed" the problem. I removed the directory ~/.gconf/apps/nautilus. Bingo - open-terminal now works again (actually, I renamed it to get it out of the way, but no matter, the situation is fixed now).

I have not taken the time to dwelve into that directory to see what was poisonous in it, now do I intend to (lack of time and priority).

I tried that fix, and it does not solve anything for me. I see a terminal appearing for a split second and it then disappears
