Description Jonathan Blandford 2004-04-06 21:11:48 UTC 
Go to /root as a user.  It will show the dir changing, but not any files in it.
 The watch cursor gets stuck too.
Comment 1 Federico Mena Quintero 2004-04-14 16:35:43 UTC 
This is rather bad; we should try to do something sensible for 2.4.1.
Comment 2 Luis Villa 2004-06-06 17:30:08 UTC 
I can't duplicate this. Did it get fixed?
Comment 3 Jonathan Blandford 2004-06-06 22:37:14 UTC 
Seems to still happen.
Comment 4 Elijah Newren 2004-06-19 18:45:58 UTC 
Mass changing gtk+ bugs with target milestone of 2.4.2 to target 2.4.4, as
Matthias said he was trying to do himself on IRC and was asking for help with. 
If you see this message, it means I was successful at fixing the borken-ness in
bugzilla :)  Sorry for the spam; just query on this message and delete all
emails you get with this message, since there will probably be a lot.
Comment 5 Federico Mena Quintero 2004-07-07 02:58:06 UTC 
Ugh, how are we supposed to get the equivalent to EPERM from gnome_vfs_monitor?
 That's what the vfs backend uses to load folders.
Comment 6 Federico Mena Quintero 2004-07-08 02:18:50 UTC 
I'm working on this.  Turns out to be more work than expected...
Comment 7 Federico Mena Quintero 2004-07-09 00:57:15 UTC 
Fixed on both the gtk-2-4 and HEAD branches.  The VFS backend may still have
problems; I'll file separate bugs for it if this is the case.
Comment 8 Federico Mena Quintero 2004-07-09 01:08:11 UTC 
For reference, the VFS one is bug #146185.
