Re: Lost Desktop after upgrading to GNOME 2.8 on Testing

[Eduardo Díaz <ediazuri@gmail.com>]

I don't really know if this throws any light over the problem, but I've 
executed 'nautilus -c'  and, depending on the locale settings (LANG and 
GDM_LANG either set as "C" or as "es_ES.UTF-8@euro"), this is what I get:

* For C:
running nautilus_self_check_search_uri
running nautilus_self_check_file_utilities
running nautilus_self_check_file_operations
running nautilus_self_check_directory
-- no more messages, it get stalled there. Expected behaviour?

* For Spanish:
running nautilus_self_check_search_uri
running nautilus_self_check_file_utilities
running nautilus_self_check_file_operations

FAIL: check failed in nautilus-file-operations.c, line 2663
     evaluated: get_duplicate_name (" (copy)", 1)
      expected:  (another copy)
           got:  (copy) (copia)

     evaluated: get_duplicate_name ("foo", 1)
      expected: foo (copy)

     evaluated: get_duplicate_name (".foo.txt", 1)
      expected: .foo (copy).txt
           got: .foo (copia).txt
-- it keeps complaining line by line with messages like those till...
FAIL: check failed in nautilus-file-operations.c, line 2703
     evaluated: get_duplicate_name ("foo (123rd copy).txt", 1)
      expected: foo (124th copy).txt
           got: foo (123rd copy) (copia).txt
running nautilus_self_check_directory
-- and agin it gets stalled.

In any case, setting the locale to C doesn't solve the problem.

Any hints?

Thank you.
