Bug Description

Steps to Reproduce;
1. On the desktop, make a file called "tic & toe.txt".
2. On the desktop, make a directory called "stuff".
3a. Drag the file into the directory.
    or
3b. Right-click-copy the file, and then right-click paste the folder.
4. Nautilus will crash.

Version: 2.12.0-0ubuntu2. I discovered the bug on a Breezy system, but I also
tried to reproduce it on a
Debian sarge system with nautilus 2.8.2-2, and it did not have this problem.
Both systems were using an ext3fs filesystem.

Thanks for your bug. That's probably due to a python-nautilus which is an
universe package.
