This issue on my Dell Vostro 2510 with NVidia Geforce 8400m was resolved with the patch file above. Thank you Jack-Xiao!
For those new to applying a patch, here is what I did. - Downloaded patch file (/home/myuser/Downloads) - Followed this handy blog post to download the source and recompile the Apt Nautilus package (easy) - To test that a simple recompile and reinstall of this package did not resolve the problem I installed the new .deb package and reboot (Nope, no luck, but my background did flicker on the external monitor) - Applied patch with instructions above cat /home/myuser/Downloads/nautilus.patch | patch -p1 (Thanks kroq-gar78) - recompiled package - sudo make clean - sudo make - sudo make install - reboot - Success!
