Seg fault on drag & dropping a URL link icon onto another (on desktop)

Package: nautilus Severity: major Version: 2.2.1 Synopsis: Seg fault on drag & dropping a URL link icon onto another (on desktop) Bugzilla-Product: nautilus Bugzilla-Component: Desktop BugBuddy-GnomeVersion: 2.0 (2.2.0.1) Description: Description of Problem: Dragging a URL link icon and dropping it onto another URL link icon causes Nautilus to Seg. fault, and crash and restart. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Browse to a webpage with images (in Mozilla) 2. Drag and drop any image to the gnome taskbar to create the URL link icon 3. Repeat this for any other image to get another URL link icon 4. Drag both icons to the desktop 5. Drag any icon onto the other icon. This causes the seg fault. Actual Results: "nautilus" (process 6329) has crashed... fatal error (Segmentation fault) Expected Results: Either an error message letting me know that I am attempting an illegal operation, or the target link (icon) should be overwritten by the source icon. How often does this happen? Everytime. Additional Information: The source of this probolem seems to be invalid URL Link icons created by Mozilla. This problem does not occour with correctly formatted URL link icons. The icons being created by Mozilla when dragging the image to the taskbar contain three fields where the URL is specified: Name, Comment, URL. The URL field contians an invalid link -- i.e. it contains the URL of the image as well as the title of the page on which it was being displayed. The URL and page title are delimited by a special character that I don't recognize. Copying that character here had the same effect as a newline, so perhaps thats what it is. I'll describe this special character in case it helps: it basically looks like a square with four characters in it. The top two characters are zeros. The lower two characters are a zero and an 'A'. So the link field in the icon looks like this: http://www.rx8club.com/hybrid/Left_image4.jpg<funny_character>RX8Club.com But when I copy that to the clip board and paste it in this window I get this: http://www.rx8club.com/hybrid/Left_image4.jpg RX8Club.com Hence my speculation that it is just a '\n' and nothing else, and the funny symbol basically represents any non-printable ascii character. Further, dragging one of the invalid icons on the taskbar onto the other (again, on the taskbar) also causes gpanel to crash. Launching any one of these icons by double-clicking on them launches a mozilla window in which _two_ tabs exist, and both tabs have the same contents, i.e. the target of the URL icon. Hope this information helps. If not, I am able to repeat the problem at will, and I'll be glad to provide more information.
