To fix this bug one would just have to link the three libraries below with the libraries you give with -l's on the same line? /usr/lib/libnautilus.so.2 -lORBit-2 -lglib-2.0 -lgtk-x11-2.0 -lbonobo-2 /usr/lib/libnautilus-adapter.so.2 -lbonobo-activation -lORBit-2 -lglib-2.0 -lnautilus /usr/lib/libnautilus-private.so.2 -lnautilus btw, fwiw nautilus blocks abiword which blocks meta-gnome2 from entering sarge.
