... with the net outcome that once started, there is no way to quit nautilus 
except by killing it. That can't be right.

In other words: unchecking the "browse media" box in the "media" tab in the 
nautilus preferences dialog is not enough. In order to stop nautilus' 
misbehavior, one must turn to gconf-editor. That can't be right either.

I'm with you there. If my other gripes also belong upstream, just say so.
