After starting nautilus, the mouse button indicates that the program is busy (it shows a rolling circle) The Indicator does not change back to normal, even after several minutes. This bug happened to me while running Ubuntu 11.10 with Unity as well as with gnome 3. Same thing when running Ubuntu within virtual box.
