Bug Description

Binary package hint: kile

Installing Kile will also install Konqueror and Dolphin since:
aptitude why dolphin
i kile Recommends konqueror | iceweasel
p konqueror Recommends dolphin
aptitude why konqueror
i kile Recommends konqueror | iceweasel

Thus installing Kile will also install these two packages. However this breaks something in Gnome->Places. When ever I click on a book mark in gnome places Dolphin opens instead of nautilus. Removing Dolphin AND Konqueror resolved the problem.
Kile also still works?

Konqueror and Dolphin packages should check if they are installed along side a Kde environment or a gnome environment and if its a gnome environment they should not tamper with system settings.

Yeah, Kile works without Dolphin and Konqueror, that is why it recommends but not depends them ;)

Anyway. From the arch forums thread you linked to this sounds more like a general problem with mimetypes being all screwy as soon as another app than Nautilus declares mimetype handling on x-directory/*. Therefore I am moving this bug to Nautilus for further processing. IMHO Nautilus should always be default unless the user himself changes it to something else.

In KDE there is a special property for desktop files, so that some app would always be default unless overridden by the user. Possibly there is something similar for GNOME?

affects: kile (Ubuntu) → nautilus (Ubuntu)

It's not a nautilus bug that installing another file manager overrides the default handler for inode/directory, and it's a much more complex problem than that. Furthermore, this seems to have absolutely nothing to do with nautilus, but instead a packaging bug with 'kile' Recommending the world.
