Could you check the contents of the Desktop for files not readable by the current user?
I seem to get a similar error after installing Google Earth with sudo, which places this file on my Desktop: -rw------- 1 root root 414 Feb 19 21:16 Google-googleearth.desktop Changing permissions to readable by all, or changing file ownership both fix the problem. ** Attachment added: "typescript" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/12156771/typescript -- Nautilus crashes with SIGSEGV https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/185330 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
