@Abhishek: Thanks for the heads up. I re-enabled desktop icons and it's back to normal. I'm getting the tracking number so I no when to switch back. For everyone else, I did have desktop icons switched off and I did get many windows of "Loading File Manager" almost making my system useless. After switching desktop-icons back on and upgrading Nautilus back to 2.26, everything's back to normal Thanks, Will On Sat, Apr 11, 2009 at 10:31 AM, Abhishek Dasgupta <abhidg@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > 2009/4/11 Will Siddall <will.siddall@xxxxxxxxx>: >> My last message, I didn't know what exactly was going on, but I knew >> it happened since the last Gnome upgrade to 2.26.
