Description of problem: Turning off the desktop by setting GConf /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop to false causes gnome-session to continually attempt to launch nautilus over and over. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-session-2.25.90-1.fc11.i386 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. set apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop to false Actual results: Desktop disappears. gnome-session launches nautilus over and over, filling Window List taskbar applet with "Starting File Manager ..." buttons. Nautilus never successfully launches, however. Each Nautilus process exits as soon as it starts. Expected results: Desktop disappears. Additional info: Removing filemanager from GConf /desktop/gnome/session/required_components_list *really* makes the desktop go away. Ideally gnome-session should be able to figure out that it shouldn't start Nautilus if it's not needed in the first place.

I can't reproduce this problem in current rawhide (admittely because the autorestart for nautilus appears to be broken...)
Umm.. still reproducible for me with nautilus-2.25.93-1.fc11.i586 gnome-session-2.25.92-2.fc11.i586 metacity-2.25.144-6.fc11.i586 As suggested in bug 485883 when I comment out the line X-GNOME-AutoRestart in /usr/share/applications/gnome-nautilus.desktop this issue disappears for me.
Hmm, too bad I can't reproduce this anymore. Does adding AutostartCondition=GNOME /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop fix things for you ?
(In reply to comment #4) > Does adding > AutostartCondition=GNOME /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop > fix things for you ? Yes. With adding this line in gnome-nautilus.desktop I don't see this issue.
Ok, I've added that in 2.25.93-2.fc11
