I finally managed to have nautilus run on my system. I have to launch it from inside gnome-panel.
Three scenarios: 1. gnome-panel not running calling nautilus from inside a terminal, it works; as soon as I change virtual desktop it crashes; if I call it again, it crashes immediately; sometimes, some other X applications crashes at the same time 2. gnome-panel running calling nautilus from inside a terminal, same as above: gnome-panel crashes together with nautilus 3. gnome-panel running calling nautilus from the gnome-panel menu everything works as expected. In this third case, here is what I get on the terminal from where I called gnome-panel: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ gnome-panel Unable to open desktop file /usr/share/applications/epiphany.desktop for panel launcher: Error reading file '/usr/share/applications/epiphany.desktop': File not found --- and, after calling nautilus from the "Places menu" --- Initializing gnome-mount extension ** Message: drive = 0 ** Message: volume = 0 --- the above two lines repeated 23 times more --- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
