Comment 1 Bernhard Schuster 2010-01-10 00:39:00 UTC

i gave it a shot (yeah I know it's evil, just for testing) to run nautilus from a superuser terminal, the output is this:
Note: The very same errors are found in my ~.xsession-errors file

Warning: Unable to create "trees" RDF storage.
Performance can be improved by upgrading librdf.

Note: In Sabayon 5.0rc1 this does NOT happen.

Comment 3 Bernhard Schuster 2010-01-10 12:39:05 UTC

Sabayon uses Nautilus 2.28.4 aswell!!!
