[SOLVED] Weird behavior of Nautilus in GNOME Shell
Every time I login to my system I cannot open Nautilus. To make it through I have to open System Monitor, kill Nautilus and reopen it. I have already tried to remove, then reinstall nautilus but no progress.
Is this a know bug? Any idea to fix this?
Thanks in advance!

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Ooooh! I guess I have a lot to learn about GNOME Shell yet. Well it actually makes sense. Thank you!

Re: [SOLVED] Weird behavior of Nautilus in GNOME Shell
I just found out another way to correct this "bug". Open Start-Up Applications (by typing in terminal $ gnome-session-properties) and uncheck the application Nautilus. If you do that, when you login, you'll be able to open Nautilus right way!

Re: [SOLVED] Weird behavior of Nautilus in GNOME Shell
Hey Aventinus, do you have Nautilus handle your desktop? If so, does it start automatically when you log in? Mine doesn't. It only starts when i start nautilus manually. I was thinking of adding it to autostart programs but like you said, it was giving you problems.
I'll have to try it out and see what happens.

I do have it handle my desktop but the way I just described solved the "bug".

Just use "alacarte" to change "Applications -> Files" from "nautilus %U" to "nautilus /home/yourusername".
