if you look in ~/.gnome/session for the RestartStyleHint=? for nautilus 
you will see that the value needs to be 2 = respawn. normally this 
works. in fact in root this is the value and it works. i.e. when the 
session is started a value of style=2 (respawn) is what is shown in 
session-properties. great.

now in my normal user id when nautilus is started for the first time 
session-properties shows a style value of Trash, even though nautilus is 
suppossed to draw the desktop. if you manually change it's value to 
respawn and save the session the value of RestartStyleHint=2 is saved. 
the  next time you login, nautilus is given a style of trash. now if you 
have automatic session saving on, nautilus does not get put in 
.gnome/session the next time you logoff. if you turn off automatic 
session saving then each time you login, nautilus will start as long as 
the last time you saved the session the RestartStyleHint=2.

the problem seems to be that even though the RestartStyleHint=2 is 
saved, nautilus is not given a style=respawn but trash instead. but in 
root this does not occur.

so here's the temorary fix. set the style to respawn in 
session-properties and save the session. turn automatic session saving 
off. don't save the session manually unless you have manually changed 
the style of nautilus to respawn.
