thanks, i believe that should work, but all my current work windows will lost, I wonder if there is some commands to restart just a single task, it seems should be nautilus, but I cannot kill and restart nautilus by "kill ***".

Just kill nautilus - it should respawn automatically. If you cannot open a terminal window to type ps or kill, switch to console (Ctrl-Alt-F1), log in, find the nautilus process, kill it, log out and switch back to the gnome (probably Alt-F7).

Oh, one note. It's possible you'll 'lost desktop icons' in gnome. I don't remember exactly, but you should quit gnome and delete files in... Please, help someone, was it .metacity/sessions or ?
