[tbl@tlondon ~]$ 

I get no desktop icons for 'Computer', 'Trash', etc.......

If I start nautilus from a terminal window, I get a window for my home directory and all the desktop icons appear

I have the same problem.  However when I try to start nautilus from a terminal I get :

GLib-GIO-ERROR **: Settings schema 'org.gnome.desktop.lockdown' is not installed

aborting...
Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)

Comment 3 Tom London 2010-08-30 15:17:44 UTC 
Not sure I have the same issue: nautilus will start/open when I run it manually, it just doesn't 'automatically' start when I gnome-login.

Here is what I get when I start it manually

[tbl@tlondon ~]$ nautilus --no-default-window&
[1] 4332
[tbl@tlondon ~]$ Initializing nautilus-gdu extension

(nautilus:4332): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_format_get_name: assertion `format != NULL' failed

[tbl@tlondon ~]$

It then displays the icons on the desktop per usual, mounts USB devices, etc.

I have gsettings-desktop-schemas already installed:

[root@tlondon ~]# rpm -q gsettings-desktop-schemas
gsettings-desktop-schemas-0.0.1-2.fc15.noarch
[root@tlondon ~]# 

This the same?

No, it's not the same problem, this looks more like a gnome-session problem. Try looking into your ~/.xsession-errors log. Is nautilus running right after login? We made it hidden, i.e. running in background and doing automounting but not drawing a desktop - check `gsettings get org.gnome.nautilus.preferences show-desktop`. Things change while approaching Gnome 3.0

This is caused by active background (a set of files instead of one persistent image) but it's basically harmless. Things will change soon anyway.

[tbl@tlondon ~]$ gsettings get org.gnome.nautilus.preferences show-desktop
true
[tbl@tlondon ~]$ 

I don't see anything obviously 'nautilus' in ~/.xsession-errors:

[tbl@tlondon ~]$ grep nautilus .xsession-errors
[tbl@tlondon ~]$ 

and there is only one nautilus process running now:

[tbl@tlondon ~]$ ps agx | grep  nautilus
 4332 pts/1    Sl     0:01 nautilus --no-default-window
 8310 pts/1    S+     0:00 grep --color=auto nautilus
[tbl@tlondon ~]$ 

That is the one I started manually.

I'll attach ~/.xsession-errors in case there is something obvious.....

~/.xsession-errors .....
Comment 7 Tom London 2010-08-30 19:47:44 UTC 
OK, after rebooting and gnome login:

[tbl@tlondon ~]$ ps gax | grep nautilus
 3686 pts/3    S+     0:00 grep --color=auto nautilus
[tbl@tlondon ~]$ 

So nautilus is not running, and no reference to nautilus in ~/.xsession-errors:

[tbl@tlondon ~]$ grep nautilus .xsession-errors
[tbl@tlondon ~]$ 

Nothing on desktop and no automounting.....
