Since nautilus loops, there's no exact good point for me to get a backtrace. What I did is reproduce the problem (right now the Desktop will show fine, but trying to resize its window will hang Nautilus), and then "kill" it with SIGTERM.
The gdb session is attached. I hope it makes sense. ** Attachment added: "Nautilus during infinite loop during desktop window resize" http://librarian.launchpad.net/6723830/gdb-nautilus.txt -- Nautilus hangs when showing Desktop in window https://launchpad.net/bugs/89868 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
