sorry, should have added that. suse 9.0 gnome v2.4.1 kernel v2.4.21-166-smp4G nautilus does come back occasionally when i close the window using the close window widget. i get a dialog 'force quit' and that sometimes works (not always). i have tried both run application dialog and typing nautilus in a terminal but nothing happens. thanks Takis On Fri, 2004-01-30 at 02:18, Sean Middleditch wrote: > What Linux distribution and version are you using, and which version of > GNOME does it ship with? > > So far as Nautilus disappearing, it should reappear on its own.
