nautilus problems

[Scott Talbot]

All:

I guess I am alone in seeing that Nautilus no longer displays .jpg, .gif
files (thumbnails do still work).  Clicking on them yields an error
"Couldn't display whatever.gif"

opening the File Types preferences yields only some entries for http,
gaim, evolution, nothing for non-internet related mime types such as
image-x/xcf or the hundreds of others which were there.

Nautilus windows are crashing often, I'm not really sure why as
sometimes I haven't been doing anything before the crash. often I have
to completely reboot to get back to barely operable.  Looking over the
logs has not helped determine anything (maybe i don't know what I'm
looking for!)

BTW I am fully up2date with the exception of the last 5 KDE programs
(waiting on kdebase)


Anyone care to suggest a course of action?
