Tell me what information you're looking for.. Btw: nautilus > 1.1.5 is considered a beta version, not alpha :), it's in the just > released gnome2 beta ( ). Well, it's beta. It's quite far from beta state still, I know that. Any error messages showing up if you launch nautilus from the command-line ?

I never said I was a genius, I said that I try to help when I can. And I don't think I've ever been rude to you. If no-one reported bugs like you did gnome's bugzilla would be cleaner. Try to make useful bug reports next time. It's not like there's no documentation about reporting bugs on nearly every free software's website. I don't think the main problem was that nautilus was alpha or beta, it's the fact that you haven't been able to make a decent bug report. I would have expected better from somebody who's subscribed to a debian developer mailing-list. -- /Bastien Nocera http://hadess.net
