So in summary, you're saying that you would like running Nautilus from the 
Programs menu to turn off the "manage desktop" preference, and overwrite 
the old value stored in that preference, unless Nautilus is already 
running. We don't currently have a way of doing that from the command line 
(although you might be able to do it with gconftool :-) And if Nautilus is 
already running, you want it to do what?

We do whatever it takes to prevent this nightmare.

Well, we need to solve the problem. I'm not sure that the current 
"--no-desktop" is the solution.
