    Not sure what would cause this - check with Google and maybe then head
    to bugzilla.gnome.org

    Hummm, two Nautilus related issues, wonder if you're missing a package -
    does apt upgrade hold back anything?

    The Nautilus one I think is to do with the MIME system - I'm seeing it
    too, and need to figure out why. Dunno what's up with your menu entries
    though - right-click, and hit Properties to see what they're trying to
    launch specifically.

    Don't have a Tungsten, but it works with my M105. WIll be doing updated
    packages of gnome-pilot soon though. Maybe this week, time allowing.

    Is the external one in fstab?

    My new epiphany[-extensions] packages uploaded yesterday are the first I
    remembered to sign. I promise to do so in future :)

    Oh yes, my key is also now in the rpmkeys APT component.
