I use the Gnome desktop w/sawfish under LM 8.1. For the first few days I was really annoyed at Nautilus because it would bring up a new filesystem browser everytime I inserted a CDROM. I was installing packages so it was happening quite frequently. (And frankly Nautilus seems like incredibly slow bloatware to me.)
I could not figure out how to tell Nautilus to not "autorun." I don't use "autorun" under Windows and don't want to use it under Linux either. Then one day, Nautilus simply quit showing up. I have no idea why, although I was delighted because it made the "autorun" problem go away. However, now I have no icons on the desktop. I don't really care about that either since I never used those icons for anything. So Nautilus is obviously not necessary for running Gnome. How do I remove it? Rpm reports that the nautilus package provides the "gnome-desktop" capabilty, which is required by the gnome-core package. Is it improper for gnome-core to depend on Nautilus? Can Nautilus be deleted? Can Nautilus be instructed how to behave? Can Nautilus be brought back from the dead? thanks in advance, gm -- +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Gregory H.
