Let file manager handle the desktop (GNOME Tweak Tool). I have an ext4 partition mounted my default after booting (edited /etc/fstab) on /media/Data, so I get an icon of a hard drive in my desktop representing that partition. I only middle clicked (wheel click) the icon with the mouse. I can reproduce this crash with any storage device icon, even an automatically mounted external device (SD card).
Please provide a backtrace of the crash: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/StackTraces
Created attachment 573969 [details] Backtrace of the crash
Didn't provide a bracktrace because ABRT told me it was unusable... Anyway, as I said, I can reproduce the crash every time. Hope it helps!
(In reply to comment #3) > Didn't provide a bracktrace because ABRT told me it was unusable... Anyway, as > I said, I can reproduce the crash every time. Yes, your backtrace is missing debug symbols as well. Please install appropriate -debuginfo packages, it shouldn't be a problem with Fedora 16.

Thought the "Retrace Server" would do that for me... Anyway, ABRT says this time: "The backtrace is incomplete, please make sure you provide de steps to reproduce.". Steps to reproduce are easy, thankfully! ;-)
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
