Hi,

Could someone please inform me how to change the default file browser in
lxde from pcmanfm to nautilus? I'm wanting to do this as I'm blind and
use orca, and it appears nautilus runs better than pcmanfm with
orca. I've tried running nautilus from the shell and it works great, so
a way to make this the default file browser in lxde would be fantastic.

Thanks for any help,
Dan

Would simply putting a Nautilus button in the LXDE panel suffice?

In case you don't know, here is the command to get nautilus running
without having it take over your desktop:

nautilus --browser --no-desktop

I would prefer to make it the default browser for opening all
directories.

I want it to take over my desktop, as pcmanfm is not accessible with
orca.

Thanks,
Dan

So you want Nautilus to be used when you "File, Open" in Iceweasel or
Inkscape or some other application? Hmm, I'm not sure how to do that.

You might find some clues in /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE
