Re: 2.10.0.1 Application "nautilus" has quit unexpectedly

Hi all,

Removing .recently-used files has also helped after trying OpenOffice
2.0 (preview) several weeks ago. Just after installing OOo and trying to
 open some document (from Nautilus), nautilus has died.

I've straced the nautilus process and after some hints I discovered,
that when I remove .recently-used file, everything is ok.

Was there some change in .recently-used file format?

Only one note for running gconftool-2: if you're using customized
xsession script or gdm-script or something what is NOT in .profile,
.bashrc etc.... : you need to set proper PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH for
you current GNOME before you're running gconftool-2.

Otherwise you may start gconftool-2 from you distribution (happened to
me many times ;)
