nautilus crashed with signal 5 in gdk_flush from make_root_pixmap from gnome_bg_create_surface

Unity was being glitchy so I ran "$ unity --replace". Nautilus then crashed.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Sparhawk (sparhawkthesecond)]

I don't even know what bugpattern-needed means, but 3.5 years later (and no reply), I've since moved away from Ubuntu/Unity to Arch/KDE. I can't provide more information for this bug (nor can imagine that it'd be useful).

The error remains Xenial , we have to kill Nautilus always Task Monitor
