I'm not sure how to reply to comment #2. My sequence of commands showed
that: (1) gconfd was not running at the beginning of the sequence, (2)
gconftool --spawn started it properly, (3) gconftool --ping then could
not find the running daemon. I'm glad that gconftool --ping works right
for you, but
Sebastien, thanks for the clue! There is no dbus session running. This
modification fixes the test case:
$ dbus-launch bash
$ gconftool-2 --ping ; echo $?
2
$ gconftool-2 --spawn
$ gconftool-2 --ping ; echo $?
$ exit

Better to use dpkg-divert to protect your modified nautilus.desktop than
trying to use permissions. Here's the formula:
$ sudo dpkg-divert --add --rename --divert \
/usr/share/applications/nautilus.desktop.real \
/usr/share/applications/nautilus.desktop
$ cp /usr/share/applications/nautil
I turn off the desktop because ion3, which doesn't support EWMH, insists
on managing the window. ion3 is a tiled window manager so (if you're
using tiled desktops) there is no desktop for nautilus to draw.
