[feisty] nautilus rendered permanently unusable when ln -s wine EXE

[Mikko Ohtamaa]

Binary package hint: nautilus

ln -s an exe file to desktop causes Nautilus to go to die/restart loop

1. Download Windows application (e.g. HeidiSQL)
2. Install it
3. Try to symlink primary EXE to your Desktop folder

   root@hacker:~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/HeidiSQL# ln -s heidisql.exe ~/Desktop

After this desktop icons are lost and

A) Nautilus starts nuking out with apport crash dialogs

or

B) Nautilus starts restarting itself and (re)opening file browser windows

The only way to fix the problem is to get to the console and remove the symbol link using rm.
