kill nautilus?

[sk606]

I'm using fluxbox and basically when if i run nautilus it loads its desktop (with background and icons) as well as the file manager. I would imagine that I can keep nautilus from doing this with command options, but my question is, once nautilus has been loaded, how to get rid of this desktop? after closing the file manager window, the desktop persists.

if i didn't make any sense, let me know and i'll try again to explain :)

thanks!

To prevent nautilus from drawing the desktop go to preferences -> Edit preferences -> Windows & Desktop and uncheck the box "Use Nautilus to draw the desktop"

To kill it run ps ax|grep nautilus |awk '{print $1}'|xargs kill

I had the same problem.....If you need a graphical shell then use Konquerer......much faster than Nautilus.....much better GUI as well!

cheers,
