Comment 3 for bug 296422

I've just done that, and reproduced the disappearing behaviour in Nautilus. One thing, i was wrong about it saying 'Starting FTP', it was actually saying 'Starting File Browser'.

(then disappears.)

I reproduced the problem exactly as i describe to you * twice* and then had al look in the /var/crash directory immediately and both times the directory was completely empty. Just to make sure i had a look with a terminal not just Nautilus in case files were hidden or something. It's quite fustrating because the cursor goes into a 'wait' cursor and you can't do anything while Nautilus is waiting for something.

(then it disappears).

Sorry i can't give any more help here. This problem is relatively straight forward tol reproduce, but i definetely haven't seen any kind of a report.

Many thanks. :)
