Does not square with what I am seeing (although, admittedly,
this is not a fresh installation).  Did you try to look for
errors in various logs?  Maybe there was something in
~/.xsession-errors before you clobbered it on the next login?
It sounds like your nautilus process has troubles.  Is this
package installed?

It is installed.  Here are the details.

Just for the sake of it, I created a new user and I logged in.  Things looked ok.  When I tried to logout, I clicked ok and it hung.  I clicked on the X and it told me to wait or to force quit.  I did not want to shut down so I clicked on force quit.  I had to ctrl+alt+backspace to log back in to my original account and in KDE since gnome does not work. Should I remove .gnome, .gnome2 directories and hope that the problem goes away or file a BUGZILLA?

Thanks for replying, I was getting desperate and you have saved the day.

Regards,

Antonio
