Desktop becomes unresponsive after pluggin in usb memory stick

[klerfayt]

I cannot right-click or open Home on desktop for 15~30 seconds after plugging in usb memory stick

Here is some, hopefully relevant info from .xsessions-errors:

Are you saying it's unresponsive but then recovers?
  If so, can you include the output of the 'dmesg' command taken after it recovers after having plugged in the usb key.
Please also include the output of the commands:

  dmesg
   lsusb -v
   mount

Desktop no longer becomes unresponsive. I tried several times to trigger this bug, all attempts failed.

[Dave Gilbert (ubuntu-treblig)]

Spinningforthecause: OK, but lets see if klerfayt can repeat it, since he/she reported it.

[klerfayt (klerfayt-deactivatedaccount)]

Oops, I forgot to log out from my artsy account. LOL.

I reproduced the bug. Icons disappeared from xfce desktop for 15~25 seconds.

[klerfayt (klerfayt-deactivatedaccount)]

And then unmount memory stick the following is shown in dmesg:

[46146.940752] usb 2-1: USB disconnect, device number 9

[Dave Gilbert (ubuntu-treblig)]

ok, I don't see anything related to when you insert the usb disk bad in the logs.
(There is some weird ACPI stuff earlier but it doesn't look related??), so I'll leave this back to the
xfwm4 guys to think whatelse to look at.

Is this bug still reproducible? If yes, does it also affect the new stable release of Xubuntu (14.04)?
