It sounds like something is very broken about your instalation. Given this is not nautilus-speciffic, you should probably talk to the general gnome-list. The fact that you are having drastic instability problems with so many gtk-related applications is what makes me think this is an installation problem rather than a simple bug. Sory I can't be of more help. If you email gnome-list gnome org, they might be able to help you better. --Ben > system info: > > PC Pentium IV, 1.6 GHz. > Mandrake 8.1 > Ximian-GNOME 1.4.x (the latest) > dynamic IP (this does not matter, because when the IP was fixed all of the > calamities happened also) > XFree 4.x with GeForce II (NVidia-made driver) > -- > nautilus-list mailing list > nautilus-list gnome org > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/nautilus-list >
