"Open new document" in fedora 18

Hello,

I have fedora 18 (gnome desktop) installed and it misses "open new document" when I right click.
Searching the web, people have said I should install nautilus actions which I did, but it did not work.

Should I shift to "nemo", "cinnamon" or other desktops?

More importantly:
Is there a straight forward way to have "open new document" by right clicking back like the previous versions of gnome?

It should have Create document > Empty file under right click on desktop menu. Is this option there?

Also since when this option's missing? And gnome version (from System > About Gnome)

Hmm.. it seems some bug in gnome environment. In that case, you can replace gnome config. files with new ones, as:

Code:

~$ ls -a |grep ^.gnome

.gnome

.gnome2

.gnome2_private

~$ ls -a |grep ^.gcon

.gconf

.gconfd

~$ mkdir gnome_old

~$ mv .gnome .gnome2 .gnome2_private .gconf .gconfd gnome_old

So after moving all gnome config files to dir. "gnome_old", once logout and then login again. It will generate all new config. files for gnome.

Hope it will help!
