It's been filed as a Red Hat bug at various times. It was more of an
issue when nautilus handled GNOME help browsing, so if you started
help from a GNOME app you would suddenly get a GNOME desktop
background in KDE. Well, IIRC back a while ago you would get a GNOME
desktop background *on top* of all your windows because we hadn't
sorted out the window manager specs. ;-) I think that's fixed at
least.

We wouldn't want "--replace" mode to be the default for a desktop
background manager selection, the idea would be that the nautilus
desktop would not start up if it detected an existing desktop,
nautilus would then confine itself to being a file manager.

I won't argue it's hugely important, that's why I haven't got around
to it. ;-) I was just mentioning it, since it came up.
