Browse for icon crashes in launcher properties when selecting "recently used"

[Andy Walker]

Binary package hint: yelp

I'm not sure if this is a bug in gnome-panel or if it is a bug in nautilus itself, but I have been experiencing reproducible lockups if I follow the following steps:

1) Right-click on panel launcher
2) select "properties"
3) click on the icon
4) select "browse"
5) click "Recently Used"

This causes gnome-panel to become unresponsive and the cursor rapidly vacillates between the rotating "busy" icon and the normal mouse cursor. This behaviour does not occur in other applications, such as gedit.
