This is probably not related, but I have noticed a strange behaviour
with Nautilus and transparent gnome-terminals:

If I delete a file or do some other file operation on the desktop, my
terminals lock up for about 2 seconds. It looks like Nautilus is
updating the background if the desktop files get changed or something,
since the terminals do not get locked up if transparency is disabled.

Gnome-terminal monitors the background image for changes, and re-renders
it for itself if it does change. This apparently causes the short
pause/lockup if the wallpaper is updated.

Any clues?
