I know this is a problem nvidia but I have suggestion for a workaround. Enable Nautilus to show icon on desktop without drawing screen or add a option to disable render usage in nautilus. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. use nautilus 2. 3. Actual Results: slowdown Expected Results: none slowdown Additional info: enable nautilus to redraw screen cause 2d slow down.
Gnome 2 and nautilus use Render in many places if it is availible. Having workarounds for driver bugs everywhere is just way to much work. Complain to Nvidia and try to find some way to disable the render extension until its fixed.
