Comment 5 for bug 232522

Absolutely bizarre crash. Are you using compositing (Compiz/Metacity with the Compositor enabled/some other compositing WM)? Did you perhaps turn it off/on at some point while Nautilus was running? Maybe it crashed and caused us to crash too?

The fix is simple enough and I'll try to get it in Bugzilla upstream in just a minute, we're not handling the null pixmap case sensibly there (can't create a cairo context for a null pixbuf, setting an operator on a null cairo context crashes). Thanks for taking the time to get the better stacktrace.
