[Bug 1465189] [NEW] Nautilus crashes when opening Dropbox

 

Public bug reported:

Since upgrading to Ubuntu 15.04, opening the Dropbox folder via the item
in the Dropbox menu (accessed by the Dropbox icon in the menu bar)
causes nautilus to partially crash, i.e. any open windows still work,
but the desktop loses its icons, context menu and rubber band
functionality until nautilus is restarted.

This is written to /var/log/syslog:

Jun 15 10:24:23 Vector gnome-session[1709]: (nautilus:2809): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_icon_theme_get_for_screen: assertion 'GDK_IS_SCREEN (screen)' failed
