This is very close to the problem I see (redhat 7.0, latest ximian
install). When I installed ximian, I told it (doorman?) to use
nautilus as my file manager. When I log in, nautilus just spins the
CPU forever. If I kill nautilus and restart it, then it runs. 

While this CPU spinning is going on, I see this in my
/var/log/messages:

May  1 11:03:50 lestat gconfd (bradym-1256): Failed to notify listener
1191182922, removing: IDL:CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0

So I was wondering if perhaps there were some race condition during
login where nautilus has to start after some other service.
