Bug#1099000: nautilus non functional when initiated remotely

[Curry Godby]

Package: nautilus
Version: 43.2-1
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: cg1252 at hotmail.com

Dear Maintainer,

When initiating nautilus from a remote system there are significant response
delays and fails to provide basic funcionality. The following steps illistrates how to reproduce the issue (see description underneath the steps):

  1 [batchusr at cgalmalinux8a]:/tmp ssh -X cgdebian12a

%   in a terminal session on a remote host running a graphical envionment, 
%   initiate ssh -X <debian 12.9 host>

%   in this case a gnome-terminal session on host cgalmalinux8a that is
%   running a wayland gnome graphical environment initiates
%   "ssh -X cgdebian12a" 

  2 Linux cgdebian12a 6.1.0-31-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.128-1 (2025-02-07) x86_64

%   lines 2-10 confirm establising a ssh connection on host cgdebian12a
%   which is a debian 12.9 host.  For reference,
%   "apt-get task-gnome-desktop" was used to establish the gnome environment
%   which includes nautilus on host cgdebian12a.

 11 [batchusr at cgdebian12a]:/home/batchusr date; nautilus --version; date

%   on one command line in the ssh -X cgdebian12a session, initiate 3 programs:
%   date; nautilus --version; date

%   line 12 is the ouput of the first "date" command
%   line 13 is a message emitted imediately from the invocation of "nautilus"
%   line 14 is a warning message emitted from the invocation of "nautilus"
%   line 15 is the requested "nautilus" version
%   line 17 appears to be a crital error message
%   line 18 is the output of the second "date" command

%   the timestamp prior to the invocation of "nautilus --version" and the
%   timestamp after the invocation of "nautilus --version" show an elapsed
%   time of 52 seconds which is too long and simplistically illistrates
%   the issue.  Though not obvious, the time lag occured between
%   steps 14 and 15.

 19 [batchusr at cgdebian12a]:/home/batchusr

The intended "ssh -X cgdebian12a nautilus" invocation in either a
wayland or X11 gnome environment results in the following:

  1 notable response lag times throughout
  2 the "nautilus" window does appear
  3 the window indicator in the lower right corner indicates loading
    with the circular indicator sputtering
  4 loading never completes and canceling the operation results in a
    "Folder is Empty" result
