Re: experimenting with libnautilus-private code

["Karl Ostmo" <kostmo gmail com>]

By changing the "style" to "Normal" as per Christian's instructions, I
was able to use "nautilus -q" to quit the nautilus process.  However,
strange behavior ensues if at this point I type "nautilus -q" again,
anywhere from 1 to 6+ new Nautilus windows are immediately spawned,
and I notice that the "style" of nautilus in "Current Session" gets
changed back to "Restart".

Additionally, when I try to launch my SVN source-compiled version
either when the Ubuntu nautilus process is dead via the method above,
or if nautilus has been uninstalled, the Bug Reporting Tool gets
launched and nautilus exits.

[shell output]
kostmo box:~/nautilus$ ps ax | grep nautilus
3007 pts/0    R+     0:00 grep nautilus
kostmo box:~/nautilus$ src/nautilus

** (nautilus:3008): WARNING **: Unable to load ui file nautilus-shell-ui.xml


(nautilus:3008): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_ui_manager_add_ui_from_string:
assertion `buffer != NULL' failed

** (bug-buddy:3027): WARNING **: Couldn't load icon for Open Folder
kostmo box:~/nautilus$
[/shell output]

With Ubuntu Edgy's apt-get nautilus source, running src/nautilus after
nautilus has been previously quit spawned 7 new windows.  The spawned
processes were not the version that I put printf()'s in
handle_transfer_overwrite().

Any assistance appreciated,
-Karl
