That sounds seriously broken.

Unticking that fixed the problem. So thanks Jeremy for > a nudge in the right direction. That's actually a bad fix, because it means that Nautilus is no longer handling the desktop at all (ie. it doesn't create a desktop window). If you *never* do any file stuff on the desktop then you're okay, but it's not the best way to deal with this in general. - Jeff -- GNOME.conf.au 2008: Melbourne, Australia http://live.gnome.org/Melbourne2008 Web development with PHP is like injecting pure rust with a high-pressure hose.
