Not really. Nautilus can be completely done away with, and GNOME in
general will still function quite happily.

You didn't completely remove Nautilus then. It's probably still in your
session and still controlling the icons on the desktop. If you want a
different file manager to do this, you will have to configure Nautilus
to not do it.


Having said all that... What does the file manager have to do with the
print dialog? If you want to start a new thread, please start a new
thread. Diverging an existing thread for your own purposes is rude, and
makes it difficult to read the original thread, or yours, as the two
become quite intertwined. Ironic for someone complaining about how the
Nautilus file manager is so heavily integrated. :)
