RE: Nautilus "Could not create required folder" error

It appears that the .gnome-desktop that was present was a file not a 
directory.  When I deleted the file, nautilus was able to create the 
directory.  Something in the % post of the kickstart must have mistakenly 
created the .gnome-desktop file.

Hello All,

I kickstarted a RH 9 system.  When I type "startx" at the prompt, I get the 
following error message:

"Nautilus could not create the required folder "/home/john/.gnome-desktop". 
Before running Nautilus, please create this folder, or set permissions such 
that Nautilus can create it."

The /home/john/.gnome-desktop folder does exist and it is owned by root.  I 
tried changing the owner to john and the permissions to 777.  I still 
receive the above error.

Any ideas on what causes this error or how to fix it?

Thanks!
GJ
