[Bug 73586] nautilus fails in sudo mode

[Martin G Miller]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

After upgrading Dapper to Edgy, invoking nautilus using the command
gksudo nautilus will allow some browsing, but after a short time, the
screen will lock.  Copying and pasting files may work once or twice, but
will also fail quickly with a locked screen requiring a force quit of
nautilus.  Running Nautilus as normal user is not affected.  Other
running programs are not affected.  This was not a problem in Dapper.
The problem seems to manifest more quickly when browsing/copying
directories and files owned by root.

** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Unconfirmed
