I suggest you open a bug in Gnome's Bugzilla at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/, put the same information there and add "gnome@gentoo.org" as CC. Upstream nautilus devs will know how to fix this better than us. remi@gentoo.org 2007-08-27 08:28:17 0000 Thanks :) eva@gentoo.org 2008-08-03 20:22:50 0000 (in upstream bug) according to Ford_Prefect it still occurs on 2.22 but his backtrace is incomplete. If someone can reproduce, please contribute the upstream bug. ford_prefect@gentoo.org 2008-08-17 14:10:26 0000 (In reply to comment #3) > (in upstream bug) according to Ford_Prefect it still occurs on 2.22 but his > backtrace is incomplete.

Just see 2 invalid symlinks now. jeisom@gmail.com 2008-08-17 14:47:59 0000 I have nautilus 2.22.2 and don't see it anymore. Thanks remi@gentoo.org 2008-08-18 13:18:14 0000 Closing then, as per comments #4 and #5. Thanks to all for the follow up.
