Heyas

Just curious, is it just me or have others the same behaviour?
When i 'start' pcmanfm.. nothing happens.
Its not even shown up in lxtask.

However, when typing pcmanfm --help in terminal, i get the helpscreen.
Allthough i like console, sometimes i really enjoy the usage of a filemanager ;)

I've 'seen' this behaviour at first while trying F16 lxde spin.
Have formated disk several times since, now installed F15 lxde again, pcmanfm worked, updated, pcmanfm stoped 'working'.

Any ideas?
Thank you.

On terminal i type pcmanfm and hit enter, now usualy would the GUI pop up and the terminal would be 'blocked'.
Its not blocked, its just on the next terminal line, awaiting input.

Any ideas, please.

reinstall didnt help :(

It works on F14. Haven't tried F15 LXDE extensively.

It used to work on F15 without problems (as long didnt enter a path with ending /, or ejecting a removable media while listing its content).
However, after (yet another) fresh installation, its gone again.

Weird was actualy that onle open download location was showing up pcmanfm.

Using F16 now, works just as previously.
/solved, without knowing why or how.
