And can anyone tell me where the Naultilus setting has gone? Could I have just killed the kde 'saved session'? Was there any other way to solve this - bearing in mind my hard disk was thrashing away and my keyboard and mouse were almost totally non-responsive?
It's been hidden away in GConf - I think the GNOME/Nautilus dev team figured that the majority of ordinary users (their target audience) wouldn't want to use it... Open up the GConf Editor, and uncheck the key /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop
IMHO, whilst it is nice to have desktop choice in Linux, it really would be nice if they played together a little better. I'll stay with kde for now and maybe read up on Windowmaker or Fluxbox I think!
