Nautilus broken (once again)...

[franck routier <f.routier@wanadoo.fr>]

Hello,

Nautilus is broken once again on my machine. I use latest unstable.

When I launch it, it just doesn't display anything (either launched from a
terminal or from gnome menu).
If there is no ~/.nautilus/first-time-flag file, then it shows the wirzard
and hangs.

The whole story is that was broken about a week ago, then it worked after
an upgrade of oaf, bonobo and such libraries, then it broke again...

I have got an error message when I do :

alci@socrate:~$ ls .nautilus/

Is this of any help to anyone to suggest where the problem resides ?

Thanks,
