Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
Using Hardy.
Since yesterday (17/02/2008), nautilus fails to handle the directory
/home/<user>/Desktop and any extended functionality correctly.
On login, i have /home/matthew open repeatedly in nautilus windows,
opening and closing, all the while consuming virtually 100% CPU.
Subsequently Gnome's Desktop functionality does not seem to work at all.
While the wallpaper is displayed, i have no mounted drives displayed on
the Desktop, no shortcuts on the Desktop, and right-clicks on the
Desktop does not produce a contextual menu. While i can browse to any
directory other than Desktop in nautilus without problems, navigating to
Desktop produces a silent crash.
When i run "nautilus /home/matthew/Desktop" in the terminal, i get an
error message, nautilus crashes, and then i once again see the repeated
loading and closing(crashing?) of /home/matthew nautilus windows.
I will attach the error message as a text file below.
