seems that bug #740765 which is nautilus crashing when closing a window that we have been investigated for some days and pinged nautilus upstream about might be happening only when the scrollbars are installed, could someone check on that issue? note that the crasher has quite some duplicates --

Thanks all, glad to see the hooks land. We'll encourage folk to install the liboverlayscrollbar package directly, and if apport and anecdotal reports are positive, bring it in for even wider testing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is s

Thanks all for comments and things to consider. I'm weighing up: * that the patch to gtk itself is considered safe and stable, though ugly * that we have a whitelist mechanism to enable us to test and deploy this in selected apps I'd ask that the patched gtk be uploaded as soon as the archive

Setting back to NEW, as this hasn't been approved yet. As I already said, it's not something that I personally want to push, as we have enough to deal with in natty (release is in a month, and we still need to sort out crashers, how to handle the a11y regressions, compiz bugs, etc., and we haven't
