For the most of it, I don't complain : everything's fine. The only annoying thing is that nautilus never started. When I try to launch it, here's what I get (ps waux) :

As I told you, I'm pretty new in this wonderful Unix world, and I'm not really sure that the next command line I'll type won't crash my system. But if I can do anything to help, I'm here. Oh, and on the other hand, if I'm THAT dumb that I made a huge and obvious config error or that I made something wrong fell free to yell at me too. :)

Increase maxusers value in your kernel configuration file (some 30 should be
sufficient) and then recompile/reinstall your kernel. After a reboot all should
be fine. Please let me know if it doesn't help.
