State of Desktop

[Brian J. Tarricone]

if i had a dollar for every time someone asks this...

http://kelnos.homelinux.org/xfce4/#faq

nautilus should work, but you'll lose the desktop menu.  also, there may 
be some icon theming issues with the nautilus that comes with gnome 
2.6.  i'd suggest you use one of the other alternatives listed in the FAQ.
