Gnome 2.3.1 frozen, can't load desktop anymore..

[Mezz bsdforums.org]

One more thing.. I don't know if it helps, but at least I tried..

Note: I had to hit ctrl+c (^C), because I can't see anything, but kill it.

========================
$ gdb nautilus

(gdb) r --no-desktop
Starting program: /usr/X11R6/bin/nautilus --no-desktop
^C
Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt.
0x28d52123 in poll () at {standard input}:15
15      {standard input}: No such file or directory.
        in {standard input}
Current language:  auto; currently asm
(gdb) bt
#0  0x28d52123 in poll () at {standard input}:15

========================

Cheers,
