The "extra content" warnings are due to a bug in librsvg. I submitted
a patch which fixes it.

We need to run gst-register to create the global registry, as the
diagnostic suggests. I submitted a patch to do this in the athchanges
script run at update time.

I don't see a problem here (I believe nautilus is supposed to continue
to run after all its windows are closed).

Our gnome-vfs configuration needed to be updated, including setting
default applications for various MIME types. (In this case, there was
no default app for text/html, so gnome-vfs selected lynx, being the
first alphabetically). As far as I can tell, this version of nautilus
cannot render html internally.
