I searched for "netbeans" because I wanted to delete it. There were 600
files. I selected all and pressed delete once. Some small windows
popped up but didn't complete drawing. Gnome froze and wouldn't
respond.
I believe what happens is that Nautilus tries to open 600 "do you want
to delete?" and/or "you don't have permission to delete?" windows when
it should only display one at a time.
Windows Explorer for instance will try to delete one file at a time,
displaying one dialog for each file, and if the file has a problem the
problem is displayed. It doesn't try to show hundreds or thousands of
windows.
