Uncontrolled "Starting File Manager"

[sd73ta]

I am not sure what the problem is with Ubuntu (could be operator) but I dont make any changes to the system just the updates. Heres the low down. I was running 10.04 and somehow out of the blue it wouldnt boot up so I get unetbootin usb with 10.10 and do a fresh install and right off the bat 2 things are wrong 1.) the gnome icons are corrupt so i reinstall them 2.) I get infinite "Starting File Manager" windows opening. Everytime I restart or startup the same thing. I have to killall nautilus in terminal on start up. I also can not right click on the desktop and trying to open nautilus after the fact is useless. Anyone have some suggestions?

Ive tried this (http://ubuntu-ky.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1550754) but I dont think I was getting any help because that was more specific to the trash icon. Sorry if Im out of line starting a new thread

I have the exact same problem, happened after an update (I think) just the other day.
Still haven't found a solution...

I have the same problem after the update, it goes away if I disable show desktop in the gconf-editor, however this is not a solution, i need the desktop, anyone?
