Bug#496558: nautilus: Fails to browse

[Mischka Katz]

further to this.

I have this problem (just recently appeared on a lenny machine).

the first obvious problem is no desktop icons, then no window when
'home' or 'desktop'
or whatever are selected under 'places'

I have noticed it is a problem on one user's desktop but not on another's
(i'm not sure the important difference - could be gnome theme?  language?)

Also, I have noticed on the affected desktop, certain selections of
the applications menu
cause what looks the same as a metacity restart (all windows, panels
(all but the
desktop background) vanish and the screen redraws itself.)  This
happens for the
affected user's desktop for the 'accesories', 'games' and 'other'
submenus for not
any others...  no idea why.

  -AA.
