** Description changed: I'm not sure this is reliably reproducible, but maybe there's something helpful in the logs. I can't seem to start up Nautilus and if I click on the folder icon next to a downloaded file in the Downloads drop-down in Firefox then Firefox freezes. It was working fine and then after I had closed it I couldn't start it again when I tried later. If I run Nautilus in Terminal it hangs for a while and then the following appears in Terminal before it gives up: (nautilus:15487): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_dbus_interface_skeleton_unexport: assertion 'interface_->priv->connections != NULL' failed (nautilus:15487): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_dbus_interface_skeleton_unexport: assertion 'interface_->priv->connections != NULL' failed Could not register the application: Timeout was reached (nautilus:15487): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_icon_theme_get_for_screen: assertion 'GDK_IS_SCREEN (screen)' failed (nautilus:15487): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid (NULL) pointer instance (nautilus:15487): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_signal_connect_object: assertion 'G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE (instance)' failed + The Nautilus process was still running (which it does normally).
