Description of problem:
Turning off the desktop by setting GConf /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop to false causes gnome-session to continually attempt to launch nautilus over and over.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-session-2.25.90-1.fc11.i386

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. set apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop to false

Actual results:
Desktop disappears. gnome-session launches nautilus over and over, filling Window List taskbar applet with "Starting File Manager ..." buttons. Nautilus never successfully launches, however. Each Nautilus process exits as soon as it starts.

Expected results:
Desktop disappears.

Additional info:
Removing filemanager from GConf /desktop/gnome/session/required_components_list *really* makes the desktop go away. Ideally gnome-session should be able to figure out that it shouldn't start Nautilus if it's not needed in the first place.
