Does KDE work fully with no system crashes? Just a hunch, if you uninstall package "magicdev" then try Nautilus, does the system still crash? Do you use the NVidia binary only drivers? They have had problems with this in the past. This behavoir appeared with the use of XFree's nv driver and also Nvidias binary nvidia driver. I did not test KDE (I do not have it installed, nor do I have QT installed), but I uninstalled magicdev and Nautilus crashed as usual. When you say "disabled Nautilus through gconf", did you disable the nautilus-draws-desktop feature only? It sounds like a possible X driver bug. This really sounds like an X drive problem or a hardware issue. An app is not supposed to be able to lock up the system like that. Reassigning to XFree86. Please reconfigure your system to reproduce this problem using the official Red Hat supplied kernel and XFree86 packages, then once you can reproduce with the "nv" driver, please attach your X server log(s) (/var/log/XFree86*.log), config file, and /var/log/messages file from after a crash. Also run the following command, and attach the file it produces: rpm -V $(rpm -qa | grep ^XFree86) > rpm-x.log Attach all file attachments individually and uncompressed (unless a file exceeds 1Mb in size). Thanks in advance. I am unable to attain any further information regarding this bug because my computer suffered a bizarre hardware failure shortly thereafter. I cannot confidently link this bug and the hardware problem, but I do believe it is a possible cause. The entire computer was shipped back to Gateway for a full refund. Ok, closing bug as NOTABUG for now, however if you experience the bug again, please reopen it, or file a new report with full system details, and be sure to attach the logs and files mentioned above to aide in debugging.

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 Description of problem: I began to experance random full system crashes inside of gnome, after several crashes I found that it was caused when interacting with Nautilus (Both Desktop and File Manager). I disabled Nautilus through gconf and my system has been stable since. I have found no one with this same behavoir, and it may be system specific. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nautilus-2.2.1-5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Interact with Desktop or File Manager 2. 3. Actual Results: My system would freeze and I was unable to kill X11 or even toggle numlock, although I did not try to SSH in. Expected Results: Nautilus should have worked as normal.
