Description Dennis Cranston 2002-06-14 18:30:21 UTC
Description of Problem:
Nautilus crashes after launching applications from within the 'Start Here'
folder.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Double click on 'Start Here' icon on the desktop.
2. Double click on 'Applications' icon.
2. Double click on an application.

Actual Results:
The application launches and then Nautilus crashes.

Expected Results:
Nautilus shouldn't crash.

How often does this happen?
Intermittent.  The crash happened quite frequently, but the step to produce
it appear to vary.

Additional Information:
According to the backtrace this crash occurs in do_monitor_cancel() from
vfolder-desktop-method.c, i.e. it looks like a gnome-vfs bug.  I see from
the gnome-vfs ChangeLog that vfolder-desktop-method.c was modified shortly
before its 2.0.0 version bump.

Debugging Information:

Backtrace was generated from '/gnome/head/INSTALL/bin/nautilus'
