Okay ~ So I was in my /opt/gnome2/bin directory in Konqi and I open up Nautilus through that and it opens fine. An hour or two later, I need to reboot KDE so I pop out of it, then relog in and it's all cool for a few minutes until Nautilus starts up 50 million times. It just keeps going and going and I can't stop it at all. Error messages pop up saying that Nautilus caused an error and then more Nautilii pop open. It's so insane I've completely lost use of my KDE desktop. Somebody pLEaSE tell me there's a cure for all this?
I would start off by kill nautilus before you startx next time by renaming the executable in /usr/bin called nautilus to something like nautilus-old
And why would you want to open up nautilus in KDE, its mainly for the Gnome Desktop, not KDE.
So unless you can tell us specifically what you did or opened up in the /opt directory, you've seen to have opened something is trying to launch when you start KDE, etc.

Because he can?
After all, why climb a mountaint? Why jump out of an airplane! Oh wait, ?
I semi-regularly open gnome applications under KDE, mainly b/c I like the implementation of the gnome app better than the KDE app that may or may not do the same thing.

Yeah, I open KDE apps under Fluxbox, but Nautilus is mainly a desktop environment for Gnome to place icons and other such things like panels. If you try to run it on top of KDE which already has its own file manager running, icons, etc, your gonna run into problems like he apparently has... that's why I asked him that..
