Hi, I have the same problem here I believe : greyed out nautilus windows + 100% CPU during 1-2 minutes. If I kill nautilus during this time, then nautilus freezes forever next time I reopen the folder.
This started happening just after I added icons to folders in my Images directory. Steps to reproduce : One folder Images Some sub-folders in Images Navigate to one of these sub-folders Drag and drop an image from a sub folder to the Information panel on the left -> very fast Navigate to parent folder, then another sub-folder -> This takes a very long time with 100% CPU (1-2 minutes) Navigate to parent folder -> Again this takes a few minutes with window greyed out Navigate anywhere -> very fast Go to another sub folder of Images and add a new icon to the sub-folder -> Again 100% CPU during a long time Kill nautilus while it is greyed out Nautilus restarts Navigate back to the sub folder containing the new icon folder (Images) -> Nautilus greys out, taking 100% CPU forever Kill nautilus, reopen, navigate back -> Nautilus greys out, taking 100% CPU forever Kill nautilus set an image as icon to another completely different directory -> takes 1-2 minutes Navigate back to the folder which made nautilus crash previously -> takes 1-2 minutes but now it doen't freeze completely anymore Navigate anywhere, close/reopen nautilus -> very fast So if I kill nautlius during the long freeze after adding an icon, navigating back to the folder after reopening nautilus freezes nautilus. But if I add a new icon to another directory and let nautilus work during the few minutes, then the problematic folder opens fine next time i reopen nautilus. So my workaround is just to never kill nautilus, even if it seems to be frozen after setting an image as folder icon..
