Public bug reported:
This happens randomly every once in a while:
- Clicking on Nautilus' Launcher icon does nothing (it blinks for a while as if
it was loading, then no window opens).
- Desktop icons (icons of files and folders in the Desktop) don't respond to
clicks or right-clicks
- running nautilus from a terminal will not print any error message, won't open
any nautilus window, but it will not exit either, just wait forever
The workaround is to "ps aux | grep nautilus" to find nautilus' process
id and kill it. Then everything goes back to normal.
