[Nautilus-list] Problem with nautilus/eel and symlinks.

[Philippe DEFERT <defert gnuisance cern ch>]

When I run nautilus and one of its ressource is a symbolic link,
nautilus aborts with an error in the eel library:

 $ nautilus

Eel-CRITICAL **: file eel-scalable-font.c: line 113 (eel_scalable_font_new): assertion `eel_font_manager_file_is_scalable_font (file_name)' failed.

Eel-ERROR **: file eel-scalable-font.c: line 310 (eel_scalable_font_get_default_font): assertion failed: (EEL_IS_SCALABLE_FONT (default_font))
aborting...
Aborted

Here is also the result of the strace:

This is systematic for any ressource which is a link.

Is there a patch ?
Yhanks for your help.
Philippe.
