Could not open location 'file:///home/geoff'

I'm using Gnome and after the last update today ( I always do pacman -Syu everyday and accept whatever it gives me in my noobidity ):(

Now I find that when I go to Places--Home Folder and Places--Desktop I get this message.

Could not open location 'file:///home/geoff'  (or 'file:///home/geoff/Desktop')
There was an error launching the default action command associated with this location

Have I done something stupid in accepting all updates without question? Or is it something else?
Can you put me on the right learning curve and fix this.

Thanks

Re: Could not open location 'file:///home/geoff'

I think that the latest udev upgrade has caused the problem. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I did the same upgrade on my laptop and got the same fault.
Apart from the faults in my previous message if I open a terminal over any page I'm looking at, like this for instance, it will not stay "above" the page when the box "only on this workspace" is checked. I have to check "always on top" to make it stay so I can cut and paste things.
When the terminal is minimized in the bottom panel and I click on it, it comes up but the moment I move the mouse pointer to the terminal screen it disappears back to being minimized.
I've never had this weird behavior before.
Hoping someone can help
thanks
