Public bug reported:

If something goes stuck on sftp transfer (or just directory load /
refresh) nautlius may freeze hard.

-On Ubuntu 12.04, the concerned directory windows freeze, and can be
removed by ejecting the sftp mount. The related windows can't recover.
This is not cool.

-On Ubuntu 14.04.03 it is even worse: A frozen sftp freezes ALL nautilus
windows, and if running gnome classic session, it even freezes the whole
gnome-panel. This is just akward.

I don't know where to blame this first, but this is definitely caused by
several bad designs.

-Nautilus should handle frozen sftp filesystems generously (timeouts,
still respond to user while showing frozen state, eg darken the file
list or something )

-Nautilus should never freeze other windows except the ones concerned
(was so in older nautlius as of Ubuntu 12.04)

-gnome-panel should never freeze on nautlilus freeze.


Sadly this was bad and got even worse... can we do the turn around?
