Maybe the Summary should read: nautilus is slow when using LARGE images 
as icons

MAY BE IMPORTANT:
The icons on my desktop are at 75% of their normal size (in Nautilus 
preferences).

The JPG picture used as icon is 3.9 megs.
Maybe your JPG screenshot is not big enough.
I sent you one in another mail in case you had mailbox size limits.
The folder customized contains 78 pictures, size 3 to 4 megs each
The customizing itself (reducing picture to icon) is very quick.

I retried today with the same result, a slow down (hanging, no crash) 
lasting 2 min. followed by recovery. After recovery everything's back to 
normal (no more hanging).

I added a new folder containing only one 4 megs picture, cutomized the 
folder with the picture. When clicking on the new folder (or any other 
folder) ther was no reaction. The folders suddenly opened 2-3 min late. 
So on my pc, the number of objects in the customized folder doesn't seem 
to matter.

I logged out of Gnome (no X restart) and back again with the picture 
customized folder still on desktop. The slow down occured again (the 
recovery effect lasts through session only).

PC is intel P4 2.4 with hyperthreading (same behavior on a core 2).

It's no inconvenience. It's simply strange. It may (or may not) reveal a 
deeper problem.
