Here is a screencast of the bug in action. Presumably nautilus is
crashing and then tries to restart, repeating the cycle.

** Description changed:

  When "show_desktop" is disabled from gconf-editor (apps -> nautilus ->
  preferences, uncheck "show_desktop"), windows saying "Starting File
  Manager" replicate until the computer fails to respond. In the System
  Monitor, the nautilus process keeps opening and closing (presumably
  crashes and restarts).
  
  I think is it worthwhile to note that when I open my flashdrive, this
  problem does not happen.
  
  This problem occurs with the latest Jaunty updates, specifically
  nautilus(-data) version 1:2.25.91-0ubuntu1, and originated with
  nautilus(-data) version 1:2.25.4-0ubuntu1. This problem does not occur
  with nautilus(-data) version 1:2.25.3-0ubuntu2.
  
  Diff from 1:2.25.3-0ubuntu2 to 1:2.25.4-0ubuntu1:
