X-Mailer: bug-buddy 2.10.0 Distribution: Fedora Core release 4 (Stentz) Package: nautilus Severity: normal Version: GNOME2.10.0 2.10.0 Gnome-Distributor: Red Hat, Inc Synopsis: Nautilus window dies on login Bugzilla-Product: nautilus Bugzilla-Component: general Bugzilla-Version: 2.10.0 BugBuddy-GnomeVersion: 2.0 (2.10.0) Description: Description of the crash: If a nautilus window is setup on the desktop using "save configuration" on logout, it crashes on login when the desktop is restored. It is possible that this only occurs when nautilus has been configured to "always_use_browser" in gconf-editor. Steps to reproduce the crash: 1. Use gconf-editor to set always_use_browser for nautilus 2. Open a nautilus window for home directory, and logout, saving desktop 3. Reboot (this problem only seems to occur on first login after booting) and login Expected Results: Nautilus should not crash. How often does this happen? Always.

I've seen similar behaviour off & on, on my Fedora Core 4. I just found a way to consistently produce a crash which looks similar to the reported bug - and I think the root cause is probably the same (the stacktraces match in my case): Just power-cycle the PC in the middle of a login session. When the machine reboots and you try to login the first time, nautilus crashes. This doesn't happen upon subsequent logins. Admittedly, this is an unkind treatment, but easier to reproduce.

Thanks for your bug reports and your extensive debugging efforts! The patch attached to bug 170947 should fix these issues. There are some other cases not handled by this patch which Alex fixed in the 2.10 branch of GnomeVFS as well. I think we should really do a GnomeVFS 2.10.1 release and check back whether that fixes your issues.
