Re: [Solved]Nautilus from root

This should work:

sudo dbus-launch nautilus

I'm investigating if there is a way to make this work naturally (without adding the dbus-launch).

Thanks for this jleach.  It has also been driving me crazy.  I guess us ex-Ubuntuers have a funny way of doing things.  Quick question for you (or anyone that knows), what does the 'dbus-launch' part do exactly?
