Cheers!

I dislike disobedience from my system. When I want to explicitly kill Nautilus with kill or killall, I am no longer able to do so. Previously I could disable this erroneous behavior (which even Windows do not exhibit!) through gnome-session-properties, however, it is no longer possible to set the "restart style" there (or whatever it was called).

What is nowadays the correct way to disable nautilus autorestart under gnome?


Reasons:

  • I'm writing a piece of software that's painting directly into X11 root window. Nautilus is interfering.
  • Compiz has a wallpapers plugin which Nautilus is painting over.
