Public bug reported:
Using nautilus_1%3a3.5.4-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb in Ubuntu Quantal, striking
any key that does not have a binding to another program attempts to
invoke the search function of Nautilus, as it used to do when Nautilus
is managing the desktop. Beginning with this update (which fixed a lot
of other crashes and warnings), this has caused Nautilus to momentarily
draw borders around the edge of the desktop, then crash.
Tthe Desktop is essentially a nonchangable directory always displayed in
fullsceen with a separate background, so I figured the "search" code is
attempting to invoke functions not available to the Desktop display. I
can fullscreen a normal Nautilus window and then strike a key, and the
search box comes up normally, and the window remains fullscreened .
These fullscreen windows still include menus and other elements not
present on the desktop, so my guess is the Desktop can't find the
appropriate GUI element for the search bar, drops OUT of fullscreen,
then immediatley crashes, taking down all other Nautius windows that may
be open but unfocussed in the process.
Running Nautilus from a terminal, then striking a key while the focus in
on the Desktop yields these error messages:
