Description

Clicking the button next to any kbfs folder in the GUI should open that folder in the native file explorer. Using the keybase-gui Community package on Arch and the Gnome desktop environment, nothing happens when I click this button.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue with the Keybase GUI Community package on Arch Linux and GNOME, then inspect the GUI action for opening a kbfs folder in the native file explorer. Done means clicking the button next to a kbfs folder opens that folder in the system file explorer; verify the behavior in the affected environment.
