I think this is a good thing - it shouldn't affect the restart style of
the master nautilus process, only of the client?

I have a separate test account, I login on a console using that
account, run `gnome' to get the eazel-hacking environment set up (a
nautilus build from may 12), verify that NAUTILUS_DEBUG isn't set, then
type `startx -- :1' to start a new X session (my .xinitrc just runs
gnome-session)

Anyway, once nautilus is running in desktop mode, I try random things
to get nautilus to go into trash mode, the only way I can do that is by
turning off the desktop

I tried this to the letter, and still couldn't reproduce it.. :-(

Perhaps we're using different versions of gnome-session? I have one
built from source; its last ChangeLog entry is dated 2001-03-23..
