How would you rate the severity of this problem or report?

1 critical        makes unrelated software on the system (or the whole system)
                  break, or causes serious data loss, or introduces a security
                  hole on systems where you install the package.
2 grave           makes the package in question unusable by most or all users,
                  or causes data loss, or introduces a security hole allowing
                  access to the accounts of users who use the package.
3 serious         is a severe violation of Debian policy (that is, the problem
                  is a violation of a 'must' or 'required' directive); may or
                  may not affect the usability of the package. Note that non-
                  severe policy violations may be 'normal,' 'minor,' or
                  'wishlist' bugs. (Package maintainers may also designate
                  other bugs as 'serious' and thus release-critical; however,
                  end users should not do so.)
4 important       a bug which has a major effect on the usability of a package,
                  without rendering it completely unusable to everyone.
5 does-not-build  a bug that stops the package from being built from source.
                  (This is a 'virtual severity'.)
6 normal          a bug that does not undermine the usability of the whole
                  package; for example, a problem with a particular option or
                  menu item.
7 minor           things like spelling mistakes and other minor cosmetic errors
                  that do not affect the core functionality of the package.
8 wishlist        suggestions and requests for new features.

Please select a severity level: [normal] 3
You are reporting a serious bug; which section of the Debian Policy Manual
contains the "must" or "required" directive that it violates? (E.g., "1.2.3")
Just type "unknown" if you are not sure.

Package: nautilus
Version: 2.16.1-0ubuntu3
Severity: normal


When logged-in as myself, Nautilus runs fine.  When another user logs
in, it freezes, taking-up all of the processor power.  A prompt then
appears saying that the process is not responding, I click "ok" (or
"force quit"), and then it is re-spawned, and the situation persists.
kill -9 process, doesn't solve the problem.  A hard re-boot is required,
and then I need to use another file-manager for this user.

Hope this helps.

Chris.
