ps uafx | grep nautilus mike 1688 0.7 4.7 184572 24264 ? Sl 10:23 0:11 \_ nautilus -n mike 2167 0.0 0.1 5340 740 pts/0 S+ 10:49 0:00 \_ grep --color=auto nautilus Gedit works fine so long as I don't launch it from nautilus. It locked up the same way when launched from nautilus. I now use gedit directly so I don't loose anything . I should be able to get nautilus to fail and capture syslog and the ps output in a few hours.
