But what happens when nautilus is called from krunner? I can't expect all 
kde users to do this all the time, and a change can't be made at the 
system level, as these are multiuser machines. So, this isn't a fix.

Also, when you do the above, if you later forget to add the --no-desktop, 
then gnome actually opens within kde on one of the displays; both desktop 
and icons, which are operative.

I suppose I could replace the nautilus call with a script that checks the 
dm it's being called from and call nautilus appropriately. That's an ugly 
hack, though.

The thing is completely broken in a multiuser system, imo. This should be 
fixed. It's a bug. And a nasty one.

Anyway, I need to go and fix this system, as nautilus has just hijacked 
the display and I can't see what process it has installed to do this.
