I confirm this bug, which is probably a duplicate of bug #884503. This
bug is extremely annoying, since not only file-roller gets frozen, but
the entire desktop.

The only workaround that I found was to press alt-f1 in order to get
tty1, login, type "ps aux | grep file-roller" and kill the process (kill
-9 pid_of_file_roller).

It it curious that anyway file-roller id not killed, but anyway,
everything comes responsive again.

  3 - I was trying to extract a file with fileroller. I simply drag and drop the file to dektop.

  PS: if I use direct exctract button on the menu it does work. It
  crashes only if I use drag and drop by mouse.
