You were absolutely correct. I tried the nautilus
command and it just hung. Then I checked to see if it was happening for other
users and it was. I was using up2date to update packages a few at a time from
the fresh install of FC3. I must have either corrupted some of its’ dependencies, or messed something up while
setting up VNC. Either way, I set it to download / install all updates over
night and re-logged in this morning, and boom, desktop had been restored. Thank you much for the insight, pointed me
into the right direction. I am very new to gnome and am starting to really love
the jump from windows to Linux. Eric -----Original Message----- Sounds like your nautilus is broken. Nautilus is to
gnome what explorer is to windows. It manages your desktop to. On 3/1/06, Eric Wright < EricWright twcny rr com>

recently installed Fedora 3. Things appeared to have went smoothly, until I
noticed that the wallpaper is no longer showing and the icons for home, trash,
and My Computer have disappeared. Also, the file manager will not startup.
After multiple reboots etc, I have yet to figure out what has happened to them.
Is there any log files that would be useful anywhere to see if they are loading
correctly after boot? I have looked thru a handful of logs and have not seen
any problems. I guess I am at a loss as of right now as to where to look next.
Any direction would be invaluable. Eric Wright
