[Bug 89868] Nautilus hangs when showing Desktop in window

[Ulrich Hobelmann]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

(In Preferences->Behavior I have "always open in browser" set to false,
so I use the spatial Nautilus mode.)

When I open my Desktop, either from the Places menu, or my opening it
from Home, sometimes Nautilus will start hanging (CPU at 100%, probably
some infinite loop), until I kill or force-quit it.

Sometimes I will open the Desktop in a window to delete all *~ files
(not shown on the "real" Desktop), and sometimes I will resize the
Desktop window.  Any of these actions can trigger that effect.

Right now it seems that deleting one ~ file triggered it, so every time
I reopen the Desktop window Nautilus will hang.

Maybe this is related to the Window and the Desktop having different
layouts (because they're open at the same time)?  not sure.
