When starting the nautilus file manager from the GNOME Shell or from a gnome- panel, the startup notification remains active, even after the file manager has started. In GNOME Shell this can be seen as the spinner being active in the GNOME Shell's top bar, in GNOME panel, a second "phantom" Nautilus enry remains active in the window list until the startup notification times out.
Hey Frederik, Could you please still reproduce this issue with newer nautilus version like 3.8.2-3 ? thanks regards Pedro
