We do already use stat64, but that can't make a dialog go blank. From the screenshot it looks like nautilus is blocking the main thread on something so its not repainting the UI. The best way to debug something like that is to get a backtrace from nautilus (with debug info) at the time this is happening. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Alexander Larsson Red Hat, Inc al...@redhat.com alexander.lars...@gmail.com He's an all-American albino cat burglar who dotes on his loving old ma.
