Comment 43 for bug 260492

The bug I had was in the Nautilus desktop file listing totem as the default program whenever I would "Left" click on any one of the top 7 in the "Places" drop down menu. I found the solution in a forum.

 Subject : [Bug 260492] Re: opening a directory using an application change associations incorrectly

I have see people in here say:

"Right click -> Open with -> custom command -> nautilus"

I need extra detailed clarification. What exactly am I right-clicking on? Places>Home Folder? When I right click on anything in my places menu, the menu just goes away, and sometimes it starts VLC. Off topic: I've noticed several VLC processes (over 10 of them) sleeping in my system monitor with no apparent VLC frontend actually visible. I don't know why this is. Closing the VLC frontends that do appear seem to not kill the backends.
