Description Lionel Landwerlin 2013-12-21 11:59:00 UTC

I am remotely connected to another laptop, and within a directory with a lot of sub directories, I start looking for files by taping the name of the file I'm looking for.
Suddenly nautilus becomes unresponsive. It turns out that the main loop is executing anymore GMainContext, putting on hold the entire UI (for more than 5minutes now).

Here the backtrace showing the problem :

(gdb) bt
