<br>First, you must stop Nautilus from starting when you log on:<br><br>- Go to System->Preferences->Sessions<br><br>- Click on "automatically save on log-out", so it remembers NOT to load<br>Nautilus ext time you log-in
<br><br>- Select the "current session" tab<br><br>- scroll down the list to find Nautilus, and select it<br><br>- click on "remove"<br><br>- log out and log in again, Nautilus should now not manage your desktop
<br>(since it's not loaded anymore)<br><br><br>Then if you still want to start Nautilus (although I understand that's<br>not your goal here ;-), start it with like this:<br><br>nautilus --no-desktop<br><br>this will prevent Nautilus from attempting to regain control of the
<br>desktop.<br><br>HTH<br><br><br>--<br>Vince<br><br>--<br>ubuntu-users mailing list<br><a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a><br>Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users">
