No, I don't think you have to install Nautilus. I think you just have to set the default "mime type" for your desktop. Thus whatever desktop you are using opens OOo. I have just moved from Gnome to KDE so I am not sure where this is done yet. -- Due to the move to M$ Exchange Server, anything that is a priority, please phone.
