Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy update from Gutsy.
gnome-panel: 1:2.22.1.3-0ubuntu1
I right-Click on a panel and I choose "Add to panel", in the dialog I chose "Custom Application Luncher", than I click on "Add" button, "Create Launcher" dialog appears, I chose Type=Location an fill other fields, es: Name=Documents, Location="/home/franco/Documents"; the launcher icon appears on panel; it's all right.
Now if I click on that icon the desktop becames freezed, if I go to a terminal (CTRL-ALT-F1) and type killall gnome-panel the panel restart and the nautilus winows required appers.
Other kind of launchers ("Application" and "Application in terminal") work correctly.
Now I have replaced Link launchers with application launchers that call explicitly nautilus and they work correctly, but it is a work-around only.
Bye

Ps: now I'm using Metacity (no Compiz because it has too problem with java).

Hi, I've installed gnome-panel-dbgsym and I've repeated the cycle, at the end I've killed "gnome-panel" and now? where I've to look for call-stack or other trace? (I'm sorry for the silly question) The question is: what I've to do now to help to solve the bug?
