    Hello all,
      I'm running SuSE 9.0 and I'm trying to update Gnome from 2.2 to 2.4
    using the packages on SuSE's website. All the files have installed
    successfully, but when I run Gnome, it seems to load up about 10
    nautilus apps (you know, on the little pop-up window that comes up as
    Gnome is loading). However, after Gnome loads up, I have no icons on
    the desktop and I can't do anything with the desktop at all except what
    I can do via the panels. The desktop is absolutely blank and I can't
    right-click on it to bring up a menu, nor can I left click to select
    something (not that there's anything there to select anyway). The HOME
    icon is in my top panel and it does nothing. When I try to run nautilus
    through the "run" option in the menu, I get nothing. Nautilus doesn't
    seem to work.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks
    Jack
