Just an older problem which I came across again: I cannot create archives with file-roller on my desktop - it just does not accept files or folders regardless the options I tried. Also I cannot create archives with file-roller using nautilus. But I found out that file-roller is working perfectly on my laptop. If anybody has had a similar experience it would be nice - searching the list did not help, google-ing neither (it seems just to be me). Hence I'm using gnome, it would be nice to have file-roller working on my desktop too. -- Thank you Markus
