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

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.....
Created attachment 441966 [details] ~/.xsession-errors .....
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.....
