Bug Description
When "show_desktop" is disabled from gconf-editor (apps -> nautilus -> preferences, uncheck "show_desktop"), windows saying "Starting File Manager" replicate until the computer fails to respond. In the System Monitor, the nautilus process keeps opening and closing (presumably crashes and restarts).
If show_desktop is unchecked, running nautilus in terminal yields the following error message. If show_desktop is checked, nautilus opens and no error messages are displayed.
$ nautilus
(nautilus:1307): Unique-DBus-WARNING **: Error while sending message: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)
$
I think is it worthwhile to note that when I open my flashdrive, this problem does not happen.
This problem occurs with the latest Jaunty updates, specifically nautilus(-data) version 1:2.25.91-0ubuntu1, and originated with nautilus(-data) version 1:2.25.4-0ubuntu1. This problem does not occur with nautilus(-data) version 1:2.25.3-0ubuntu2.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, you are not using the most recent version of this package for your Ubuntu release. Please upgrade to the most recent version and let us know if you are still having this issue. Thanks in advance.
Please re-test with Alpha 4 as it is now the current version. I won't close out the issue for now until we find it has been fixed in Alpha 4 or if it is still an issue.
Thanks,
Richard Seguin
