Hello!

I can confirm this. As for error message - it asks if I would like to restart the app or inform developers. The later brings bug buddy.

Thanks for your bug report. It seems very likely to be the same issue as: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=166672

Daniel, the upstream bug is a nautilus-python one. The bug is likely a missing Depends or something like that. Could you run a "dpkg -l python\*"?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

could you run "ls /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pygtk*" and "python -c import pygtk"?

ls...
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pygtk.pth
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pygtk.py.python2.4-gobject

python -c "import pygtk"
ImoprtError: No module named pygtk
