Hi everybody,

I was checking out the web a little trying to find a solution to my problem. It's when i open up nautilus. Everything is ok i mean it pop up fast enough but my cursor stays busy way too long. Maybe 15 seconds. Is anybody having this issue?

Thanks!

Of course not! Try creating/removing a file where you should not (e.g., in /): you cannot.

Yes, I experienced this under Gnome 3 in Parabola/Arch GNU/Linux some time
ago. You open up nautilus from places applet, window show up, all working,
but cursor spins as "busy" for some time. Currently I use awesome wm with
half of Gnome and do not have such a problem.
Here is the post on Arch forum where i find a solution:

Try to edit file with text editor

$ sudo nano /usr/share/applications/nautilus.desktop

locate and change line:

StartupNotify=true

to

StartupNotify=false

This is for system-wide, if you want change it for current user, copy wihtout sudo

$ cp /usr/share/applications/nautilus.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/.

and then edit it

$ nano ~/.local/share/applications/nautilus.desktop
