Re: [Nautilus-list] segfault on start

[Seth Nickell <snickell stanford edu>]

What platform/distribution is this on? What version of GConf, ORBit,
Bonobo, & OAF do you have? Also, it would be helpful if you could run
Nautilus inside of gdb and send us a backtrace to give us an idea where
it is segfaulting.

cheers,
