[Nautilus-list] Gnome weirdness

[S A Jarrett-Sprague <sjarrettsprague waitrose com>]

I would really like to help and get to the bottom of this.

Whilst posting to this newsgroup, Gnome went wierd on me. I had the 
following programs running:

evolution
grip
gtop
rp3-config

On calling up gtop, I lost icons at the top of  evolution window. I had 
the ability to access gnome menus but no action on pushing buttons in 
menus. Only action seeming to work
was 'kill app'. I then tried to log-off menu came up buttons pushed 
seemed to try and logoff but nothing happened. Solution 
ctrl-alt-backspace. During the period of seing what would make gnome 
respond I dragged various windows across screen getting a nice trail of 
window fragments.


Is the problem:

1. sawfish
2. nautilus


From experince Gnome 1.2 & Redhat 7.0/7.1, on two different computers I 
have in the past put some of these problems down to sawfish and/or 
themes. On changing to some themes downloaded from www.themes.org I have 
found that pan and sylpheed have crash complaining about gtk stuff. 
Changing the theme seemed to solve the problem.


Who/where should I be sending this sort of information to if it isnt a 
nautilus problem, and what could I do to find out more about what is 
going on so I could be more helpful..
