Same problem. But no VMWare server, and no VMWare plug-in for Firefox.

Instead I've got VMWare player installed, and also Lotus Notes.

1. Create a new account / will work without the slab error
2. Install VMWare Player
3. Launch VMWare Player and launch a Windows VM (May work with a linux VM, don't know).
4. The slab error will then appear.

This is the error that is produced:
Code:
Bad key or directory name: "/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/": Key/directory may not end with a slash '/'
Bad key or directory name: "/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/": Key/directory may not end with a slash '/'
Bad key or directory name: "/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/": Key/directory may not end with a slash '/'
Bad key or directory name: "/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/": Key/directory may not end with a slash '/'
Same thing here:
-Installed vmware server 2.0 + firefox plugin: no problems
-Start vmware guest (Windows XP): popup error on lauch, also when clicking on any item in the slab menu
-Uninstalled vmware server 2.0 + firefox plugin: still same problem
-Installed vmware server 2.0 + firefox plugin again: problem solved until a guest is lauched.

Vmware was compiled from source not rpm package.

Same issue running 11.1 RC1. Constant slab errors after installing VMware server 2.0. I installed from an RPM but a lot of the software had to be compiled from my sources which I already had from installing NVidia drivers last week.

Log off.

Ctrl-Alt-F1

Login in a Console.

Delete the file "~/.recently-used.xbel".

Ctrl-Alt-F7

Login.

Enjoy.

If that's the solution (can't check against a setup here)... Thanks for posting! Strange how it would end up there!

Cheers!

Just got the chance to test this... clearing out the .recently-used.xbel does work.

If you are in your X desktop it's easier to blank the file out..

Code:
echo . > .recently-used.xbel
NOTE : this also clears you recently used list lists for a couple of other apps too... No biggy, just worth noting

Thanks for posting meierkurt123!!

Default Re: Slab popups all the time

After starting a VMWARE Guest Problem returns.

In an Ubuntu Forum i found another Solution, that works permanently:

Delete the file and make a directory with the same name:

Code:
rm ~/.recently-used.xbel
mkdir ~/.recently-used.xbel
The directory prevents the creation of a new file. Now Slab hasnt the last accessed documents, but i dont need this feature.

Hi
You can disable the slab features in gconf-editor;
Code:
/desktop/gnome/applications/main-menu/lock-down/showable_file_types
Just remove '1' from the list.
