Re: Nautilus not able to run as root?

["Michał Majchrowicz" <mmajchrowicz gmail com>]

This is strace for my case. It was reported to my that on many
machines it looks similiar:
rt_sigaction(SIGPIPE, {SIG_IGN}, {SIG_IGN}, 8) = 0
poll([{fd=15, events=POLLOUT, revents=POLLOUT}], 1, 0) = 1
write(15, "\0", 1)                      = 1
write(15, "AUTH EXTERNAL 30\r\n", 18)   = 18
poll([{fd=15, events=POLLIN, revents=POLLIN}], 1, -1) = 1
read(15, "OK 4f416f936c678b996435c00046261"..., 2048) = 37
poll([{fd=15, events=POLLOUT, revents=POLLOUT}], 1, -1) = 1
write(15, "BEGIN\r\n", 7)               = 7
poll([{fd=15, events=POLLIN|POLLOUT, revents=POLLOUT}], 1, -1) = 1
writev(15, [{"l\1\0\1\0\0\0\0\1\0\0\0n\0\0\0\1\1o\0\25\0\0\0/org/fre"...,
128}, {"", 0}], 2) = 128
gettimeofday({1177021357, 781013}, NULL) = 0
poll([{fd=15, events=POLLIN, revents=POLLIN|POLLHUP}], 1, 25000) = 1
read(15, "", 2048)                      = 0
close(15)                               = 0
futex(0x81b9a28, FUTEX_WAIT, 2, NULL <unfinished ...>
I had to do Ctrl+C to stop it :( It happens on many computers (I am
net Administrator) wich I tested. Different CPU's and all other stuff.
And it also affects 2.18 version :(
