The issue is not trivial to fix and comments like that aren't particularly helpful. Nautilus is currently a required component of the GNOME session because it is needed for auto-mounting removable media. However, Nautilus is currently designed to exit when it has nothing left to do (such as when it is set to not draw the desktop), which contradicts the need for it to be a required desktop component and doesn't make much sense. So far, it doesn't seem like anyone here has come up with any proper solutions. Either Nautilus should be designed to never exit, even when it has nothing to do (such as drawing the desktop), or the media handling part of Nautilus should move to some other desktop component and Nautilus should not be a required component. Both ideas are non-trivial though, and require someone with the time and interest in working on it. You're more than welcome to make a contribution. In the meantime, if you don't want to keep modifying nautilus.desktop after every update, just remove nautilus from the list of required components in your session -- gnome-session keeps respawning nautilus when no desktop is drawed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/325973 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
