Logging in to Gnome causes Xserver to crash

[rossjman1]

Last night, I was messing around with Nautilous options and I changed the zoom to 200% and the xserver crashed. Now every time I try to log into Gnome it crashes after 30 seconds or so.

Here is my .xessionerrors:

bump

[philinux]

Login as normal. Open a terminal and try this.

metacity --replace

It's also bad form to bump so quickly.

[rossjman1]

I can't get Metacity to run because Gnome crashes right away. I have homework and stuff I have to do so I would like this to be fixed sometime today.

rm -r ~/.nautilus

fixed my problem.
