Subject: nautilus-desktop slow to load, gives freedesktop timeout error

Date: Sat, 29 Oct 2016 15:06:09 +0000

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: nautilus
Version: 3.22.1-2
Severity: important

Since upgrading from 3.22.1-1 -> 3.22.1-2, nautilus-desktop takes over 10
seconds to load on my system. After this time it gives the following error
if
run from a terminal, then appears to function normally:

** (nautilus-desktop:9840): WARNING **: Unable to create File Manager
freedesktop proxy: Error calling StartServiceByName for
org.freedesktop.FileManager1: Timeout was reached

Steps to reproduce:
1) enable 'Icons on Desktop' in gnome-tweak-tool
2) run 'killall nautilus-desktop; nautilus-desktop' (or logout and in again)

Problem also occurs on a fresh user account.

After rolling back to 3.22.1-1 the desktop loads instantly again with no
error.
