At the moment you have to start the root one with --no-desktop. However, 
we should really be checking if nautilus is already managing the desktop, 
using a manager selection or something. That way we wouldn't get this 
problem.

This is on my TODO list, however that list is astronomically large, so 
patches are accepted.
