Hi Eric, > Closing bug report as it was a bug in gvfs.
Not completely.. But beyond this discussion, I think I can offer a small improvement.. ;) > https://github.com/xfce- mirror/xfdesktop/blob/09ce3eb7f79225366c445e5a6639b9b7d0f1ac4d/src /xfdesktop-file-utils.c#L866 These set the watch cursor, but call the dbus proxy so quickly that never display the cursor.. Then (though the name of the function is _async), is doing all the main thread, freezing the desktop all the time that takes the file operations.. If you add these code in the line marked above force to update the gui, and to respond to new events like clicks on the desktop > while (g_main_context_pending (NULL)) > g_main_context_iteration (NULL, FALSE); The ideal is do this within the dbus interface, but as this constructed now is impossible. :S Please.. Test.

Deleting files from the desktop directly causes machine to freeze for ~30 seconds, once file is deleted machine responds in a timely manner again. I experience this randomly, about 75% of the times. Old bug report claims it is fixed in version 4.11.5-0ubuntu1 of xfdesktop4, but I still experience this with 4.11.6-1ubuntu1.
