Making Nautilus go away in GNOME

Hi all.
Been trying to repalce Nautilus with Rox in GNOME, but short of replacing the nautilus binary with the rox binary, I've discovered no method that works.

I can run rox --pinboard=PIN and then killall -9 nautilus and it works for a second or two, but the instant I click on something, nautilus comes back with a vengence.

So, replacing the binary is the only way or what?

You can remove nautilus in gnome's session-settings.
It wont come back if you remove it there.
Applications->Desktop-Preferences->Advanced->Session

Thanks that did the trick!

Okay that didn't do the trick. Clicking icons on ROX's desktop causes nautilus to re-assert itself. (I actually noticed this quite a bit earlier but I never got around to coming to these forums until now

)
