Bug Description
I've got this problem using lubuntu with three monitor.
I have a laptop with intel video card and set the monitors using arandr.
After that:
pcmanfm --desktop --profile lubuntu
goes 100% cpu and can't open a new file manager window.
killing the process makes it respawn and goes 100% cpu again. This happens every reboot.
Only way i found to fix is to:
killall -9 pcmanfm && pcmanfm (desktop will flash)
ctrl-z
kill -9 %1
this usually interrupts the respawning and let you execute single file manager instances normally. The SIGKILLs are necessary, pcmanfm is looped somewhere and won't respond.
the version is:
PCManFM 1.2.0
