I'm using gnome and I recently switched my default filemanager to pcmanfm. Anyway, it seems that whenever I open a file (double click, etc) the appropriate app will not start. However, it works fine whenever the pcmanfm instance is started from a terminal.
For example, let's say that I double click directory.desktop on the desktop to bring up a directory with pcmanfm and I double click on foo.zip to view the archive with file-roller; file-roller will not start. However, if I enter "pcmanfm -t directory" in a terminal and double click on foo.zip, then file-roller starts.
Anyone have any ideas?

I'm not at my Arch computer right now, so I can't check...what's the entry for PCManFM in it's .desktop file? If it has some option, then perhaps just get rid of that option? I can't think of any plausibly likely reason for it to behave differently if it is the same exact command.
Stop looking at my signature. It betrays your nature.

pcmanfm isn't necessarily one entry in the desktop file, it's in many
instead of just creating symlinks I used .desktop files instead (otherwise, they open with nautilus)
the only option is the name of the directory in the Exec field
[edit]nm, fixed it by using pcmanfm as the desktop instead of nautilus
