Re:Slack 9.1 and Gnome WIndow manager disappearing

Hi all, I just recently installed slackware 9.1 aand I load gnome as the default desktop, install the nvidia drivers and everything is sweet, but when I go to browse my files with the window manager, I click on the icon of the house and it looks like the outline of the window manager is opening but nothing gets displayed, this is with a bare kernel straight from the 9.1 install cd, anyone have any ideas or know of a fix?

Cheers

It sort of sounds like you didn't get everything installed that was needed. That version of nautlius was buggy however. It bothered me, but it usually would just crash the app. It would just suddenly disappear and then maybe restart. I have no problem in gnome 2.6 so they cured the problem whatever it was.
