Possible workaround to bug #629913

[Valentín <valentin sanva net>]

Hi!

I'm new in this think of mailing lists, so sorry in advance if I'm doing something wrong...

I'm studying Nautilus to improve my skills in programming and to start trying to fix bugs.

I think that I have a correct fix to bug #629913 ( https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=629913 ) but I fix it in Nautilus 2.31.2, not in the latest 2.91.91 --because I can't compile that in my normal system.

I also compiled 2.91.91 using JHBuild, but I'm having problems to test it because when I run it from JHBuild shell it doesn't draw the desktop icons --I think that is because in Gnome 3 that is the default behaviour. Someone told me in #nautilus that the program no longer has that feature of drawing the desktop icons, but the code that manages that is intact --even the code I modified could be applied to 2.91.91 because the function have the same code in 2.31.2 and 2.91.91. So I think it could be a matter of configuration, and here I am, asking for help.

What do you think I should do?

Thanks for your time.
