Fixed for me.
I've found that the problem was caused by not being able to access an already mounted NFS share after starting the firewall.
To clarify, as part of the boot process, the NFS shares of other host get mounted localy on my machine. After that, lokkit starts up and activates the firewall which seems to be far too restrictive and does not allow outgoing traffic for NFS.
If, under this conditions, I try to do something like 'df -Th' it, obviously, gets hung indefinitely.
The problem with the GNOME desktop gets solved if I stop the firewall.
Thanks for your support anyway.

Hi,
last weekend I upgraded (unintentionally) from GNOME 2.6 to 2.8 on my Debian Testing (x86, kernel 2.6.8).
After upgrading, and before login/out and restarting gdm, everything was working perfectly.
But, after logout/in (and restarting gdm), I got no Nautilus normal functionality.
This means that: - I get a grey desktop (no wallpaper, no icons, nothing). - I cannot launch the file browser by clicking on its icon. - I cannot launch the file browser from a shell but I still get no feedback message. - Nautilus is in fact running, but it leaves no error on /var/log/syslog
