I've just updated by install of Gnome (1.4) from ftp.suse.com and now when I run Nautilus it complains:

** WARNING **: Can't find description even for "x-directory/normal". This probably means that your gnome-vfs.keys file is in the wrong place or isn't being found for some other reason.

And Nautilus won't open directories, crashes on opening preferences, etc.

From having a nose around on the net it seems that /opt/gnome/share/mime-types/gnome-vfs.keys is missing now?

Any ideas?

Yes. Apparently, there needs to be gnome-mime-data packages for both gnome1 & gnome2. First, download this file and place it in your "/usr/src/packages/SOURCES" directory: ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/stable/sources/gnome-mime-data/gnome-mime-data -1.0.1.tar.bz2 Next, take the file below and place in in your "/usr/src/packages/SPECS" directory. Then, cd to the "SPECS" directory and do an "rpm -ba gnome1.mime-data.spec" to create the package. It can be found in "/usr/src/packages/RPMS/noarch". Do an "rpm -Uvh gnome1-mime-data-1.0.1-0.noarch.rpm" and "killall -HUP nautilus" to bring your desktop back to life.
