When I run nautilus it does something diabolical to my window manager!
I run fvwm2 as my window manager and it's lovely. However if I start nautilus it clobbers everything, the background colour changes slightly, but more to the point I can no longer get my mouse menus by clicking on the background. What's it doing and how can I get my fvwm2 back apart from by shutting down and restarting (which in itself is quite difficult because I normally do that via one of the mouse-click menus)?
You might want to play with gconf-editor and turn off the options for using Nautilus to draw the desktop:
/apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop (it's a boolean tickbox)
That's the path with the gconf editor, not a file path.
Run nautilus like this
nautilus --no-destkop --browser and nautilus will not take over your desktop
Excellent, thank you! :-)
Where does one find things like this documented? It's one of the reasons that at least a basic man page for *every* command is useful, a man page lists the command line parameters if nothing else.
