i found the root of the problem: after removing the package gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad, i was able to view the properties window in nautilus as it should be.
the totem player now complains about a missing codec and suggests to install gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad but there's no memory leakage anymore. thus the problem seems to be in the gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad package -- nautilus memory leak https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/204413 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
