Je peux répondre en français si vous voulez mais je poursuis en anglais.

Answering your question was instructive.
In fact, customizing the desktop folder icon with any proper icon won't
crash nautilus.
I discovered that it's using a photo (3 to 3.5 megs) as an icon that
does it.

Step 1: (step1.jpg) Right-Click on a desktop folder icon (here).
Click on Properties. Click on the default icon and choose one on the
photos (3 to 3.5 megs) as icon.
Step2 : (step2.jpg) Open any desktop folder containing a subfolder. Open
the subfolder. Nautilus will hang/crash.
Recovery: (step3) Right-Click on the previously customized desktop
folder and reset the icon to default. Now Nautilus will reopen
subfolders properly.

To sum up, you can't use a large scale photo as an icon folder.
