Nautilus hanging or failing to start for a variety of reasons.  Running
 'killall 
nautilus', or better 'kill -SIGHUP <pid-of-nautilus>' with the right
 pid should 
fire it back up without logout.  If its happening that often it could
 be 
something noticeable, like selinux denials, dbus not starting,
 gnome-vfs maybe. 
  Look in ~/.xsession-errors for any clues there.

Further to the above. Running from the menu is fine, only the desktop is vacant.
Selinux was turned off (leaving off during beta evaluation). 

Relogging solves problem.  By the way, it does not matter if it is following a fresh boot or if I relogged after an absense of time.
