nautilus 3.6 crashes when a second instance is launched

[gerstrong]

When I updated the system last time and some newly created user uses this at returns:

(nautilus:5534): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_x11_display_get_xdisplay: assertion `GDK_IS_DISPLAY (display)' failed
Speicherzugriffsfehler (Speicherabzug geschrieben)

This is critical because it doesn't allow to browse files.

I found out that it only crashes when a second instance is launched.

Here is the output using gdb:

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I have the same problem. This and a lot of other issues really make me regret switching to 3.6...

[gerstrong (gerstrong)]

I like that version, it got more useful but it's a bit buggy understandably. Nevertheless Quantal got in release status in this bug is really critical for that matter of fact.

Thank you for your bug report but Ubuntu doesn't use nautilus 3.6 (for a reason), you should report the issue to whoever provided you the version you are using (e.g the ppa owner if you use a ppa version)

[gerstrong (gerstrong)]

Okay, will do that in future. It is fixed anyway...
