after upgrade to etch, nautilus hangs when I drag desktop icons

[Johannes Kiehl <dont-use-this@arcor.de>]

Hi folks,

since I moved to etch/testing, my gnome desktop icons
freeze whenever I drag them around. How can I learn more
about where nautilus gets stuck?

Killing, then restarting nautilus with strace returned
the following lines around the segmentation fault:

% strace nautilus
...
select(4, [3], NULL, NULL, NULL)        = 1 (in [3])
read(3, "\1\1\373\4\v\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\270\247_\10\240\373\377\277"..., 32) = 32
readv(3, [{"\377\377\277\10\377\377?\0\377\377?\0\377\377?\0\377\377"..., 44}, {"", 0}], 2) = 44
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
write(3, "7\2\5\0e\0@\1b\0@\1\0\0\1\0\0\0\0\0H\1\34\0b\0@\1e\0@\1"..., 52) = 52
write(3, " \2\2\0\0\0\0\0", 8)          = 8
write(3, "+\2\1\0", 4)                  = 4
read(3, 0xbfffda00, 32)                 = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
select(4, [3], NULL, NULL, NULL)        = 1 (in [3])
read(3, "\6\0\374\4\246\233\200\272&\0\0\0=\0@\1\0\0\0\0\367\2\205"..., 32) = 32read(3, 0xbfffda00, 32)                 = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
select(4, [3], NULL, NULL, NULL)        = 1 (in [3])
read(3, "\6\0\374\4\246\233\200\272&\0\0\0=\0@\1\0\0\0\0\367\2\205"...,32) = 32
...
etc., endlessly repeating the last 3 lines.

.xsession-errors does not change.

Where else could I look? Any help or pointers are welcome.
