Nautilus in a loop...

[Chris Hoelscher]

Don't know if I just missed it or what - but I 'fixed' my problem. 
Never did see the email come through where I shared how.  Since at least
one person asked me, I'll re-send.

Not certian which package did the trick, but I 'rpm -Uvh' ed the
nautilus and nautilus-mozilla packages, then everything was fine.

Thanks -
Chris H.
