Unfortunately I had to reinstall my PCLOS Gnome 2009.2, because I made a mistake during installation of another dist on the same computer.

Now I have just spend an hour running a dist-upgrade. I thought, that everything was allright. I wanted to set my mouse to open files on doubleclick instead of a single click. As I know this is done in Nautilus preferences, I opened the file manager and clicked on preferences and then Nautilus crashed immidiately. Then I tried to open the preferences from the menu: System -> Preferences -> File management (I think that is what it is called, Mine is in danish). It tries to open for a few seconds, but doesn't succeed.

Is there anything, I can do to fix that, or do I have to make yet another reinstallation?

Not at the moment as you can see this:

You can manually edit the gconf-editor

Code: Select all

gconf-editor

/apps/nautilus/preferences/click_policy
change the single click to double

I have changed the click-policy to double in gconf-editor, but it still opens applications on a single click, even after a restart.

Sorry! I changed it as root. I realize, that every single user can have their own settings, so now it's OK.

I have yet to understand why anyone need to double click a icon to open it when it is just twice as fast to do it once?
Glad you got it sorted out there... Have fun you 'ole double clickers!
