One of the comments made in the sun-sponsored Gnome usability study a
number of months ago was around application launch feedback.
There's been, for some time, a package called xalf
(http://www.lysator.liu.se/~astrand/projects/xalf/). Under gmc this
packaged worked perfectly - but when launching items from desktop
shortcuts under nautilus, there is no launch feedback (not even the
invisible window in the taskbar, which I wouldn't expect to depend on
the file manager at all).
Can any of the folks familiar with the nautilus internals take a swag at
explaining this? Is it a known bug in either package?
Thanks.

insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without
