With today's rawhide updates, the following packages resulted in a nautilus-free login session. gdm-2.15.6-13.x86_64.rpm xorg-x11-xinit-1.0.2-7.fc6.x86_64.rpm All I got was an empty desktop with a functional mouse. Reverting to gdm-2.15.6-9.x86_64.rpm and xorg-x11-xinit-1.0.2-6.fc6.x86_64.rpm returned things to normal. Jay
