[Nautilus-list] plz help: nautilus does not start!

[Leonardo Canducci <leocand tin it>]

I've installed a brand new woody-debian last week. I installed 
nautilus too because it worked well under my old potato-debian I was 
using before.
My problem is: i installed nautilus, nautilus-suggested and 
nautilus-extra (strangely there is no mozilla embed package in woody) 
but when I started it beneth gnome it didn't work. I had no errors 
neither nautilus window. It's quite strange because I have a fully 
new installed system with update packages (tnx ADSL) and no strange 
conf files. I just installed evolution, mozilla, galeon and nautilus 
and I started gnome - with absolutely no errors - only a few times.
I tried:
1 launching nautilus again.
2 deleting conf directories (.gnome .nautilus ecc)
3 using nautilus-clean.sh
4 using .nautilus and other conf dirs from my old system 
(potato-debian with nautilus working)
5 killing and restarting processes.
6 reinstalling nautilus and updating all packages many times

but I got nothing useful. nautilus still doesn't work.

I have no errors messages on syslog but when I log out after trying 
to launch nautilus I see (ps U user) that some processes belonging  
to my user are still running. 
Could my problem be related to that?
Do Any other debian-woody users have my same problem?

I post my "ps U user" output during gnome session and after (log out) 
if it may be useful.

during gnome session:
