I inadvertently ran Nautilus while in KDE. Nothing happened right away, but within a few minutes Nautilus opened and re-opened several times, causing my terminal to freeze up.

I shut sown the system and brought it back up.

KDE went about restoring the session and the same thing happened all over again. I tried switching to another workspace, but the same thing happened there, too.

How do I keep this from re-occurring?

1) Is there a config file that keeps track of what processes were running during a system crash that I can modify, to keep Nautilus from being invoked ?

2) Is there a way to kill all active processes from within the text-based window - <Cntrl><Alt><F1> ?

Open one of the nautilus sessions and start the configure option. Select that you do *not* want nautilus to be your desktop. Then kill all the nautilus sessions and restart x (init 3, init 5). -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org

Or just run a terminal and type "killall nautilus" Jim Frost -- KDE 3.1.3 KMail 1.5.3
