** Description changed: I am using Ubuntu 8.04 , Gnome 2.22.3 , Nautilus 2.22.5.1 . I have the normal repos selected ( IE no backports etc ). This is pretty much a vanilla install. This happens under any circumstances. I have duplicated it every time I tried ( after originally finding it ) - I created a archive on the desktop ( though I am sure this can be duplicated using other files ) - I open Nautilus ( its window sits ~ middle of the screen ) - I drag the archive from its top left corner position of the desktop from left to right through Nautilus - If my mouse goes over the "Places" area in the left window of Nautilus, my entire X screen locks up. The only thing I can do at this point is CTRL+ALT+Backspace to "reset" X. This kicks be back to the login screen, where I can login again. This part really doesn't matter I suppose since it wouldn't occur if the last part didn't, and not sure if it is its own bug. - After logging back in, my background appears fine, but any file that was on my desktop is not visable. I can still see the files though if I browse to the directory manually through terminal or Nautilus + + + [UPDATE] + + This actually works when dragging *any* file. I have tested now with + text files that are on the local system, etc.
