>> accepting your suggestion:
>> 1. `adduser test`
>> 2. log in GNOME thru xnest
>> 3. now its basic theme is consisted with Clearlooks, Clearlooks, GNOME
(as of gtk, metacity, icon order).
>> 4. its all locale variables(locale, lc_*, lang*) were set as "C"
>> 5. Do `Open as administrator` on Desktop folder icons. (Computer, test's
Home, Trash)
>>     same error : The application "nautilus" has quit unexpectedly. You
can inform the developer ~ blah~
>>     [Restart Application] [Close] [Inform Developer]
>> 6. Open "test's Home" with Dbl_click!
>> 7. In test's Home window, Do `Open as administrator` on "Desktop" folder.
(* works well *)
/*********************************************
       "Enter the administrative password"
       The application 'nautilus --no-desktop 'file:///home/test/Desktop'
lets you modify some essential
       parts of your system.
       Password : [INPUT BOX]
       .. [] Save for session, [] Keyring
**********************************************/
above is all.

>> I agree. GDM original setting deny root's login. but that is only gdm
rule.
>> user(s) cant log-in thru startx when he is not on remote.
>> would be better if nautilus script(or function)s detect its runtime user.
