Cursor spins for an extended time when opening home-folder from launcher

[Doug McMahon]

This only happens when opening nautilus from a l. click on launcher icon, cursor spins for up to 15 sec.
With any other means to open nautilus this doesn't occur inc. any quicklist entry(s) on home-folder icon

Thanks Doug for the bug report. I can reproduce it as well.
Curiously, if you close the Home while the cursor is spinning, the window closes but the cursor continues spinning for a while. Weird!

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This bug was filed on a 10/04 install & was also seen previously on eariler installs
Am now using a fresh install from 10/09 daily & it's no longer happening, will see if it starts up again though no sign of yet.
