	Some of the most impossible (non)bugs come from these systems.
Ultimately they seem unsupportable and generally crack-riddled,
nevertheless lets see if we can help you.

	When I said 'strace -f' I meant use the '-f' flag so it will follow
forks, and show us what the threads are doing.

	Also - you'll want to kill nautilus before doing it - it has a habit of
re-starting, or else you'll just get the thing to open a new window and
quit.

	Regards,
