That's an 'affirmative'. The way to invoke Nautilus without allowing it to
overrun XFce's control of the desktop is: 'nautilus --no-desktop'.

Usually XFce picks up on this and gives you the proper start-up command off of
the panel. If you are running it from a c-l, you need to add the switch to your
typed in command.
