Comment 3 for bug 1047083

I've tried those suggestions, the first one didn't show any errors or anything untoward with Variety when Nautilus crashed.

I tried the second suggestion (commenting out everything in the set_wallpaper script), but it wouldn't change the wallpaper without the Gnome 3, Unity section. When I added that back in it worked fine, but I kept the rest commented out. It seems to have worked fine since then, it hasn't crashed at all (normally happens several times a day) for the past few days.

I've also just spent 20 mins scrolling through all the wallpapers, including a few that I know for definite that it crashed on previously, all without problems. So it looks like the problem is solved, thank you!

I've had a few other wallpaper changers installed before and I certainly remember either installing Feh or using a program that installed it, so I wonder whether it was the remnants of those that were causing a problem.

Thanks again for your help and the great software.
