apt-get remove or just edit the gnome session (it's in the settings
mentu I think) to not-run it.
Which will leave me with which other GUI options?

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
I got you about that. Just before I read your message I've moved files from
my camera's compact-flash into the Digikam album which was a great
experience to do this way instead of "mv" of the right cryptic-looking file
names to the right sub-albums. There ARE uses for GUI interfaces.
I also believe you about the bloat and fragility of the Nautilus in particular
but:
1. Ubuntu seems to have a good time using Gnome.
2. I see people on the net mention using Gnome all the time and enjoying
its sleek(er) interface (compared to KDE).
and I want it for myself too.
the implmentation/abomination of Nautilus, with its RAM hogging
footprint, leaks and crashes. There are other unsung options out
there...
Back to a question I think I asked before - which?
Cheers,
