Nautilus does not start in Gnome

[Rick Loga <rickloga@firstlinux.net>]

I installed Nautilus ver. 0.8 from the unstable branch.  I am using woody with kernel 2.2.18.  When I select Nautilus from the Gnome menu it does not start.  The messages log says the following: 
Feb 18 15:23:51 patrick gconfd (rick-805): starting (version 0.12),
pid 805 user 'rick'
Feb 18 15:23:51 patrick gconfd (rick-805): No configuration files found, trying
to use the default config source `xml:readwrite:/home/rick/.gconf'
Feb 18 15:23:52 patrick gconfd (rick-805): Initializing XML backend module
Feb 18 15:23:52 patrick gconfd (rick-805): Directory/file
permissions for XML source at root /home/rick/.gconf are: 700/600
Feb 18 15:25:52 patrick gconfd (rick-805): GConf server is not in use, shutting down.
Feb 18 15:25:52 patrick gconfd (rick-805): Unloading XML backend module.
Feb 18 15:25:52 patrick gconfd (rick-805): Exiting

I tried Eazel support but they replied that they support Nautilus on Red Hat 6.2 only.  The /home/rick/.gconf file is there but what other config files is the message talking about that are missing?
