Nope...X has been restarted dozens of times. Fixed it this morning after I realized that Nautilus obviously didn't know what to do with desktop files...that's why it was opening them in a text editor. Reinstalling mime-support and shared-mime-info brought the desktop back. Best I can figure is that removing an icon theme and a gtk2 engine somehow screwed mime support on this machine. Thanks for everyones suggestions though. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkk8IH8ACgkQnQV1aTcQlJuATQCfT7AFxy12rqiRXt59SX1LIU/p vX0AoIUXYtLYin1Wn6VtpxIFFN7aXRi0 =6e5z -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
