Hi my name's Gontran, and it's been 3 weeks since my last Windows.
Over the past 6 mos I'd seen and occasionally used a RH based Nautilus
desktop environment. And even on speedy machines -- I wasn't impressed.
Frankly, it was my contention that Nautilus was wishing it was nipping at
Konqueror's heels -- as a graphical shell.
It always seemed so damn slow, and I didn't like that my root menu was
owned by nautilus. Sure this was familiar ground from the 'gmc is in total
control' days, but <que: cranky old man voice>I didn't like it!</que>.
Well, all this has changed for me when I got turned onto a particular
command line option for nautilus: '--no-desktop'.
It still uses more memory than galeon (which can use a lot), especially
when viewing html in the viewing frame where it will load a mozilla
component additionally. Using version 1.0.6 .
Whiz bang! Root menu still mine (I can't live without it - root menu - in
blackbox), and once I got all my mime types associated to taste, it's been
very pleasing. Looks purty too.
A humble screen: (look, I didn't spend all day making it look wicked, OK?!)

Craig, maybe you could try '--no-desktop' and see if that helps, or find
that other way to disable nautilus entirely.
