Nautilus is restarted by the session-manager at default priority (50).
Gnome-Preferences stuff are started at priority 20. The window-manager is 30.
And the Gnome-Panel is 40. All normal applications are 50. 

Nautilus should be started at a priority higher than 50 because it is as
important as the panel and so should start before other applications, and also
because it also sets some Preferences (such as the background).

For example, when Gnome-Terminal starts up (and it has transparent effect turned
on), it needs to know the background in order to look transparent. But because
Nautilus is also at 50, it sometimes sets the background *after* Gnome-Terminal
has started, so the transparency get's screwed up.

* REPRODUCIBLE: Always

* STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

Log out with nautilus running. Then log back in.

* ACTUAL RESULTS: 

 Since nautilus is restarted at 50, it restarts after a lot of other
applications.

* EXPECTED RESULTS: 

  It should restart after the panel (so that icons on the desktop aren't placed
behind the panel), but before other applications that might need to know things
that nautilus changes on startup, like the background.

Entered twice in a row, presumably accidentally.

Gene Ragan recently changed the session priority of nautilus to 40 (same as the
panel, before normal applications). So I think this bug is fixed.

btw, the comment about nautilus needing to start after the panel is probably
true, but nautilus currently doesn't try to avoid the panel when placing icons 
(see bug #41447)

The comments on bug #41447 seem to imply that GMC had some support for not hiding
icons behind the panel, and it seems Nautilus will be aiming to do the same. So
how about looking ahead of time and giving Nautilus a slightly lower priority
then the panel - 45 for example. Either that or make the panel's priority higher.
