Description Anand 2002-03-18 06:40:40 UTC 
The latest gnome 2.0 was built on 17th Mar.

Description:
When any changes are made in the 'File Types and Programs' option of 
the 'View as Other' menu, nautilus stops responding.

Steps:
1) Select the 'View As ...' option from the view drop down menu in the 
location bar to open the 'View As Other' window.
2) Click on the 'Go There' button to open the 'Edit File type' window of 
the gnome-control-center.
3) Make changes in the window (say change the icon) and press 'OK' button
4) Perform any function in nautilus (E.g. click on refresh) and the 
application stops working (however it does not hang).
5) All nautilus windows become unusable and needs to be closed.

Crap. Big one. Any clue what the problem is, Dave, Jody? This is only
borderline Urgent, since it is /sort of/ an edge case in a properly
configured system, but it definitely needs to get looked at. cc'ing
both of you since I'm not sure whose this is.
Comment 2 Jody Goldberg 2002-03-29 07:17:15 UTC 
It looks like the chooser dialog is not actually exiting when it pops up the
prop dialog.   This leaves nautilus stuck in the subsidiary main loop from the
initial dialog.  I've got a simple patch that replaces a gtk_object_destroy
with a gtk_dialog_send_response.  I'm pretty sure it will work, but my nightly gnome2 build just kicked off, so I'll test it in the morning.
