It sounds like you're in KDE, but for some reason Nautilus is attempting to run. In my experience, Nautilus - in it's default configuration - does not like playing very well with anything except GNOME. If you are trying to run Nautilus - don't, or leave it till you are using GNOME. Just to clear a couple of things up; Konqueror is a file manager, and a web browser, similar to IE/Explorer/My Computer in that regard. Nautilus is a file manager. It is not a web browser. It has some capacity to handle basic http, but is not (to my knowledge) anywhere close to acting like a full web browser. Galeon, it's counterpart - is a web browser, and does not have any file manager like properties. KDE and GNOME both have what are called sessions. This is where programs that were open when you logged out will reopen. The effectiveness of this depends on how well the program save their state. My suggestion is to open KDE, and leave it for five minutes while the computer grinds away. Once it's got everything open, close off all the unwanted programs. I hope this helps. :) - Edward -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
