Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

If the gconf key

  /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop

is set to false, gnome-panel fires up thousands of "Starting file manager" entries in the window list.
The file manager is never started though, but gnome-panel keeps running at 100% CPU use.
