Bug Description

when I click on locations personal directory (to open nautilus) it crashes with an error message with no text, just two buttons.. close and report bug.

when I open nautilus from the terminal it just hangs...
so no more nautilus file-manager,

but nautilus draws the desktop, showing the same messages, but when clicked close it still draws desktop...and continues..

found out it is related tot nautilus-python.
so it isn't actualy nautilus fauled.

Thanks for the report. Can you provide us with some more information?

- How did you find out it was related to gnome-python?
- Which versions of the nautilus and nautilus-python packages are installed?
- Can you provide a backtrace?

I'm running dapper drake, and just updated nautilus and nautilus-python...

nautilus version: 2.13.4-0ubuntu1
nautilus-python version : 3.0-3ubuntu1

The way I found out was to remove some nautilus packages at a time and ran nautilus again.

first nautilus-open-terminal
didn't work, installed it again.
then nautilus-script-manager
didn't work,
then nautilus-python
and lo and behold, it didn't crash anymore.

so it could only be nautilus-python stopped working with the new nautilus package.
