After installing today's updates (dist-upgrade) every time I click a file or icon on my desktop or in a nautilus window, nautilus crashes. All the icons on the desktop disappear and every open windows vanishes momentarily. It's like the desktop and nautilus crashes and reloads. This is very annoying. How can this be fixed?

* Edit: I think my own tinkering caused this problem as I had previously installed some updated packages from Debian Unstable. Oops! Re-installed Parsix from newly released TEST2 ISO image (retaining /home) and problem now solved. Thanks!

Hmm that's strange, are you running newest Parsix i386 with all updates, and old kernels removed? Did you accept gdm configuration changes with yes, like I did? It doesn't crash on my AMD Sempron laptop.
Code:
lauri@parsix:~$ uname --all
Linux parsix 2.6.24-parsix-22 #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed May 14 07:47:28 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
lauri@parsix:~$ cat /etc/parsix-version
Parsix GNU/Linux 1.5r0-TEST-2

I usually update with:
Code:
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade

then remove old kernels and reboot, then:
Code:
apt-get clean
apt-get autoremove

I haven't tested, you could try reconfiguring gdm:
Code:
dpkg-reconfigure gdm

I'm not sure what GDM would have to do with nautilus crashing, however, I will try your suggestions and report back.
