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
