From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.3) Gecko/20040924 Description of problem: Now and then Nautilus gets into a mode where it won't delete a file. Either when you right-click and select "Move to Trash" or when highlighting an object and hit the delete key. Neither will work. If you launch a shell of course the file can be deleted with "rm". Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nautilus-2.2.4-4.E How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Uncertain, it happens regularly but randomly. 2. 3. Actual Results: Sometimes files cannot be deleted with Nautilus. Expected Results: Files should be deleted by Nautilus when required. Additional info: If you kill all instances of Nautilus, and Nautilus re-spawns, file deleting works again. Also logging out and in again does it (because all instances of Nautilus get killed). Just quiting a single interactive session of Nautilus and restarting another does NOT fix it. Nautilus must die completely as a session manager for the problem to fix itself.
