Bug#454764: Nautilus at 100% cpu after running as root

[Jay Sears]

Package: Nautilus
Version: 2.20.0

I use Debian lenny/sid with an up-to-date installation of Nautilus (2.20.0). 

I can run Nautilus as Root when I log in as Root without any problems, but when I log in as User and run Nautilus with gksu the cpu goes to 100% when I exit Nautilus. An enormous (1 Mb+) debug file is created in /root. When I do this on the command line I get a lot of this:

(nautilus:4328): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

(nautilus:4328): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_destroy: assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed

(nautilus:4328): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

(nautilus:4328): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

etc.

I have to kill Nautilus before I can use it again (as root).

Other people are having this problem too:
