The ps | grep command gives me this:
$ ps -ef | grep -i nautilus
andrew 8522 1 0 Mar11 ? 00:00:00 nautilus --no-default-window
--sm-client-id default3
andrew 8803 1 0 Mar11 ? 00:00:00 nautilus --no-default-window
--sm-client-id default3
andrew 12807 1 0 10:49 ? 00:00:00 nautilus --no-default-window
--sm-client-id default3
andrew 13184 13147 0 12:29 pts/0 00:00:00 grep -i nautilus
And I forgot to mention that I had logged out and back in. Any more
suggestions?
Thanks!
