Hi All!
Just a little thing that really bothers me when starting up nautilus. If there is an instance of nautilus running (that is say, handling the desktop) when I start the second instance the browser will open instantly but my cursor stays "busy" for way too long (~15 seconds). Just wondering if anyone else was having this issue and weather it can be solved as it bothers me to the extent where I can't have nautilus handle my desktop.
This issue happens on both my laptop and desktop running both gnome-shell or compiz-standalone.
Thanks!

I also have this issue. Do not know since when but it's annoying.

I'm also experiencing this issue. If I try to run it from Xterm, the problem isn't there...it's the reason that I switched to another file manager...cpu and HDD aren't loading anything...seems like just some indicating problem..but frustrating too...

Glad to hear it's not just me. Strange that it doesn't happen when loading from the terminal too. I can confirm using gnome-terminal launching multiple instances of nautilus doesn't casue any issues. Is this a bug in the new version of nautilus?

Just confirmed that this is a bug introduced in the 3.2 series of nautilus. I just downgraded nautilus and gnome-desktop to 3.0.2 and the bug is no longer there.

I have found the solution but I don't really know why this happens... still there is the solution :
Open the .desktop file of nautilus with a text editor like :
sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/nautilus.desktop
Go to the end of the file and edit this line :
StartupNotify=true
And change the value "true" to "false" like this :
StartupNotify=false
Then save the file and open again nautilus... no more waiting mouses ^^

By the solution given by @aliasbody, it should be some notification problem. Anyway, thanks for the workaround!

This is still present and the workaround above doesn't help.
Any new "fixes"?

@vlatko27 Try to remove the line that I've changed in the file and then try to open nautilus again.
