Anyone try an RHEL4 VM? Nautilus issues on upgrade from v3 to v4?

Has anyone tried to build a VMWare VM running RHEL 4?

I upgraded a VM that was running RHEL3 U4 and to RHEL4.  I had to
rebuild the tools, and it gave me some MINOR guff but appeared to build
(and start) OK.  However, I have not figured out the "secret sauce" of
how VMWare edits the x config bits, and it's decidedly unhappy (seems
that the server is OK but it's puking on the mouse device & a security
file ??)

Thus far I have bashed my way through some of this by:


ls -s /dev/input/mice /dev/mouse =20

and

mkdir -p /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver
ln -s /etc/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy

...so now at least X starts, but Nautilus immediately crashes with:
** ERROR **: file nautilus-directory.c: line 553 (add_to_hash_table):
assertion failed: (g_hash_table_lookup (directory->details->file_hash,
file->details->relative_uri) =3D=3D NULL) aborting

	I have not even started to look into VMWare support, etc - just
figgered I'd fire off a quick email to see if anyone here has already
been through this...

	HOWEVER - for grins I just fired off a quick VNC session
(blackbox as WM) and Nautilus just won't run - so I am guessing that
VMWare has nothing to do with it... other apps (konqueror, etc) run just
fine in both VNC session and "VMWare Remote Console" session into VM
