The bug is still present with Nautilus 1:3.8.1-0ubuntu1~raring1 AMD64 and Gnome-shell 3.8.2-1ubuntu2~raring2 AMD64.
I'm using ubuntu-gnome fresh install, upgraded to Gnome-shell 3.8 using the ppa. The only workaround I found is to use Places extension applet or a keyboard shortcut (such as Ctrl+Alt+H); this way, nautilus is launched without any problem. Nautilus can't be in the dash menu otherwise it may crash gnome-shell or may lost the background. By the way, I can't find ANY OTHER theme besides adwaita that works... Gnome-shell becomes very unstable with any other theme than the official one... It's very annoying... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1159430 Title: Nautilus 3.7.92 breaks desktop background on Unity To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/1159430/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
