I did a bit more debugging. I don't really get the code. From what I can understand: when I open up My Pictures, it finds the cached versions of the icons for all of the subdirectories. When I open up a subdirectory something causes it to check the icons for all of the subdirectories. For some reason it doesn't find them at this point. This happens in a thread that blocks interaction with the GUI. They're all custom icons, and some of them take 30 seconds to a minute to generate the thumbnails (I just stepped through and verified that's what's happening). That seems a bit extreme. Anyway, after that, that nautilus window will load any of the subdirectories again without problem, until it's closed. Once it's closed and reopened, back to not working. The backtrace helps to explain what's going on probably better than I did. Thanks.
