Title:
  Hostname changes breaks application loading

Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “sudo” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: hostname

  On 9.10 changing the hostname via the terminal breaks the loading of
  applications until a reboot. You can see this below:

  joseph at joseph-work:~$ nautilus

  (nautilus:2068): Eel-CRITICAL **: eel_preferences_get_boolean:
  assertion `preferences_is_initialized ()' failed

  [nautilus gives errors, but loads]

  joseph at joseph-work:~$ sudo hostname example
  sudo: unable to resolve host joseph-work

  [change hostname to example, complains about my previous hostname]

  joseph at joseph-work:~$ nautilus
  No protocol specified
  Could not parse arguments: Cannot open display: 
  joseph at joseph-work:~$ 

  [Nautilus fails to open]
