Hi everyone,
what is wrong that Nautilus can not handle correctly images, especially in the png format ?
I have a FC6, regulary updated.
A little example will explain my situation: if you, in a Nautilus window, go to "Backgrounds and emblems" from Edit Menu, in the section "Patterns" you will see a list of png thumbnails of the patterns. My Nautilus doet not show anything :( (if I launch it as root, it works again, however !).
I have reinstalled gnome, nautilus, ImageMagick, and libpng without any result :(
What is the library that handles this situations ? Perhaps it works only as root...
Thanks you in advance,
Andrea

Doesn't happen here, and I'm keeping up-to-date with updates. Sounds like it's probably an issue peculiar to your logon. Try creating another ordinary user, and see if it works for them.

You are right... that seems a problem connected to my account. I have just creayed another user and under that account Nautilus works well.
So, have I to delete all my gnome settings (.gnome* and .gconf*) to fix this ?

I should hope not, but since I don't know what's specifically the problem, that is one approach. You could try diffing the config files, and see if you can spot it.
Today Tim did spake thusly:

Or maybe there's something in your path that's different to the new users' one? Can you run it from a console and see if it spits out any text errors?

Issuing "nautilus" in a terminal does not report any error.

That is strange. I have deleted .gconf* .gnome* and .nautilus, and the problem is still present ! :(
So... I will try to change my username by means of chfn...

There's other directories with personalisations in them, as well. Do a ls -a to see the other . prefixed directories.
I would log out of Gnome, and work in a text console to try changes to those files, as well. You'd want to be testing any changes, rather than carry on using already loaded configuration files, that might be ignoring any changes to them.
