Description Albert Zeyer 2009-02-15 13:30:15 UTC
Please describe the problem:
Sometimes (most often) nautilus hangs at the startup of Gnome. It is started as I can see in console:

az@acompneu ~ $ ps ax | grep nautilus
 9644 ?        Sl     0:00 nautilus --sm-config-prefix /nautilus-OCLyrO/
--sm-client-id 117f000001000110917070900000051010001 --screen 0
--no-default-window

But it just does not appear, e.g. the desktop is not shown (stays gray, doesn't
shown the icons and also does not show my background image).

gnome-panel is loading fine and I can also start new instances of nautilus
which also will work fine. And also if I kill the initial nautilus, it will
restart it and then the desktop is shown correctly.


Steps to reproduce:
1. Start Gnome.


Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?


Other information:
I am using Gentoo and I reported already the bug at Gentoo here:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=258883

You will find there additional information like GDB backtrace and some strace output.

2.22.5 is history and nobody works on 2.22 anymore
Comment 2 Cosimo Cecchi 2009-02-21 13:59:02 UTC
This is very likely a Gentoo or a configuration bug, and as Andre said, 2.22 is OBSOLETE, closing.
