remove nautilus(filemanager) from required components and make
it as an autostart item seems much better for most people.

but I personally much like session-manager to respawn  nautilus
when it exits  or being killed manually in cases it hangs when  browsing remote
directory using sftp or samba while the server dies,is it possible to switch
nautilus back to  required components?

here is what I tried but failed:
remove  /usr/share/gnome/autostart/nautilus.desktop
then add filemanager back to required_components_list

logout and login again,nautils is not started by the session-manager
it says in .xsession-errors:
 WARNING: Unable to find provider 'nautilus' of required component 'filemanager'

Anyting I did wrong?or is it impossible to switch back?
