We are having this issue in Solaris with nautilus that seems to be related to drag and drop and some keystrokes not being recognized in other apps, till we kill nautilus.
Test scenario is when we open a gnome-terminal or xterm and nautilus, and drag something in nautilus from one folder to Trash for example, the Spacebar and Return keys don’t work on xterm/gnome-terminal. Shift-Spacebar and Shift-Return seem to work.
Can someone please point me to where I look to debug this?
