nautilus 3.0 strace illustrating hang for file -> Properties selection (313.24 KB, application/octet-stream)

Description Wendell MacKenzie 2011-04-10 21:33:50 UTC 
When attempting to associate the file type to a program to open it using Nautilus 3.0 as part of GNOME 3.0, it hangs nautilus.  You have to kill it and restart.

Clicking on the properties of a file on the desktop works fine here.
What are the exact steps to reproduce this bug for you?
Comment 2 Wendell MacKenzie 2011-04-12 00:48:08 UTC 
I replied to the email you sent but it ain't showing up here so here goes again:

If I setup Nautilus using the gnome-tweak-tool to have it draw the Desktop showing all files, launchers, etc on the Desktop and attempt to right-click on one of the files and from the pop-up menu select "Properties", the result is Nautilus will hang. 

Upon doing a strace of nautilus before doing this operation, I see that the last thing it does is open and parse:

/usr/share/mime/text/plain.xml

part of shared-mime-info-0.90.34.1

Is this broken?
