Title:
  attempts to spawn infinite number of file manager windows

Status in “gnome-session” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-session

  Sometimes my computer gets into a state such that *something* inside
  my gnome-session attempts to spawn an infinite number of nautilus
  windows. This eventually results in the maximum number of X clients
  being reached. Killing or sig STOPping nautilus doesn't help.

  This morning it happened again upon resume from suspend. I killed my
  gnome-session process, ensured there were no more processes for my uid
  running, then re-logged on via GDM. Immediately, the "opening..."
  entries in the panel window list started to multiply. This time I
  STOPped nautilus again and they started to die back.

  This might possibly be triggered by a stale mount caused by samba, see
  #620322. Next time I experience either, I will try to figure out if
  they are occuring at the same time (and whether fixing the mount fixes
  the problem).
