apt-get remove or just edit the gnome session (it's in the settings
mentu I think) to not-run it.

other than conveniant renaming, I find GUI file browsers to be slower
than a bash prompt with tab-completion and globbing. there were few
times when I needed to sort files when the GUI was a more efficiant
tool. That said, I am not dissing the world of GUI file browsers, just
the implmentation/abomination of Nautilus, with its RAM hogging
footprint, leaks and crashes. There are other unsung options out
there...
