Nautilus + Ctrl-Alt-F1 -> Desktop hang

[Victor Engmark]

To reproduce (done it five times now):
1. Start the computer.
2. Select Ubuntu 2D on the login screen.
3. Log in.
4. Start Nautilus.
5. Press Ctrl-Alt-F1

What happens: The screen hangs - Nothing updates anymore. I can still use Alt-SysRq-REISUB, but that's all.

What should happen: No hangs, please :)

To ensure that the problem is really Nautilus, I tried to start all the programs which were running the last time it hung, one at a time, leaving the others on in the background, and switching to VT1 and back. It worked fine with no applications, GNOME Terminal, and Firefox, but crashed when I also opened Nautilus.
