Maybe FAM is somehow messed up on your system?
Possibly, that has created problems like this before.
FAM seems to be ok, but i have finded a workaround: i move the file directly in a nautilus window browsing a directory, and it works without any problems or i can use "nautilus -q" to "refresh" the desktop; so i think is a nautilus problem, but i could be wrong. Is there anything i could do to see if is a fam problem? Thanks
I can't think of anything to suggest really... just needs debugging.
I have changed the partitions on my HD, so i've had to reinstall RedHat. After i have logged as user, i've tryed to verify if the problem still exists... well, it seems all working fine. Probably i've made a big mistake in the previous installation, really i don't remember what i've done and if i have done something wrong, i've just installed some nautilus themes as user in /home/usr dir that probably cause the problem and i haven't tested nautilus as root at all (big mistake). I'm so sorry to have wasted your time for nothing, hope you can excuse me.
I'm again here, after some days i have definitively resolved the problem. Yes i was wrong, it was not a themes problem, but a FAM problem. This evening i have had some times to look at it and i have seen that FAM wasn't running at all. So i have thought that was a fam bug, i have upgraded it to the latest version downloading the rawhide source of it and compiling, but no way, it didn't work. I have downloaded the fam sources from http://oss.sgi.com/projects/fam/ and i have readed some documentation. I have modified the /etc/xinetd.d/sgi_fam file deleting the bind option : bind = 127.0.0.1 exactly like i have seen in the installation notes in the sources. Well i don't really know why now it works and what the bind string is.. i am only lucky. Thanks for your patience.
