Description of problem:
1. The home and wastebasket icons both disappear from my desktop at irregular
intervals. Sometimes this happens after I have double-clicked on my home
directory icon. Sometimes this is followed by a message from Nautillus claiming
it is searching for a trash/wastebasket folder on my desktop.
2. When I have another application open, I can double-click on my home icon or
on a panel icon (gedit) and nothing happens. Sometimes, there will be a delay of
up to 15 or more minutes before the folder or app opens. Sometimes, the desktop
icons just disappear as described in 1. above.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open an application (e.g. opera, mozilla, terminal window, etc.)
2.Minimise app or go to another workspace and double-click a desktop icon (e.g.
home folder) or activate a panel app (e.g. text editor)
3.
	

Actual Results:  Icons on desktop tend to disappear;
Application double-clicked (e.g. home folder or text editor) don't open, or if
they do, it is only after a very protracted delay (up to 15 minutes on two
separate occasions).

Expected Results:  Application double-clicked (e.g. text editor) should open
within a reasonable time - at least less than 60 seconds.
Icons should NOT vanish from desktop.

Additional info:

Nautillus sometimes gives message that it is trying to locate wastebasket folder
on my desktop.
I can ls and access all my folders and files in /home/me through the terminal
but they cannot be seen on the GUI
