Oh No. I want never read about linux "after reboot all is fine." ;-)))) If this happens again, you can try to restart nautilus. $ killall -9 nautilus after this, Gnome starts nautilus again. If the X-Server/Gnome crashed, you can "strg + alt + backspace" to kill the X-Server and logon again. Greetz Dirk -- In 1983, David Lightman nearly destroyed the world with a IMSAI 8080.
