That seems to have helped somewhat :-)

I was starting G2 with an xsession through GDM but my normal bash shell
settings did not =include the Garnome path.

Therefore, I was trying to start nautilus fromt he command line but the
wrong one :-(

I did just have a crash when I tried to launch something fromt he
preferences window "preferences:///"

There are a number of reported bugs (incl. mine) which have all been
marked as dupes of bug 84693 which the nautilus guys appear to have
fixed (two days ago)...

I'll try that, the bummer is if an old panel gets started you can't get
rid of it (you seem to have to always have 1 panel).

Thanks a lot.
