Problem with Gnome/Nautilus. Please help!

[chrisgj6]

Hi everyone,

I've been using Mint for a couple of months with very little problems. I've installed the global menu add on for the gnome applet(
http://code.google.com/p/gnome2-globalmenu/) and its worked well for a couple weeks. I decided yesterday to remove it from the panel but after doing so I've encountered some serious problems which I suspect may be related to this. Every time I boot the computer elements of the interface start to load but the system is slow to the point that it is unusable (10 mins for a window to open). I eventually managed to access system monitor but nothing seems to be taking a significant amount of cpu or memory. Interestingly my screenlets load properly and function perfectly. It refuses to open any nautilus windows as my user but I can open nautilus as root by entering "gksudo nautilus" in terminal. It does connect to the internet and eventually I can access package manager. I'm also using the elementary modified version of nautilus.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sorry in advance if the information I've supplied is of no use.

Chris

Try deleting or renaming the hidden .gconf folder in your home then log out and back in. This will set all your settings back to installation defaults.
