Ubuntu 10.04 nautilus fork-bomb

[DaedraPrince]

Hello, I've recently installed Ubuntu Netbook Remix 10.4 on my HP Mini 210 HD, and installed gtk2-murrine package to utilize a theme I downloaded gnome-look.org/content/show.p...content=124548

This all worked well, until I attempted to change the background on the Gnome desktop. Upon entering the Appearance configuration, there is a file explorer fork-bomb that occurs and floods my Taskbar for up to a minute after I've entered the config. Has anyone ever experience this and if so, how can I fix this?

On top of this, I cannot change the background even if I select a new image.

Thank you in advance to any help I receive.

ps. Also when I start a process while this is occurring the forking stops, i don't know what that means.

If this is consistent, and you have updated your pacakages, then report it to Ubuntu's bug report system. I've had similar problems with Firefox's handling of embedded email addresses (embedded in a web page) for a long, long time. I just kill firefox and restart it. If starting another process (such as double-clicking on a desktop icon) stops this, then great. You should, however, verify that those other processes aren't either running or zombied, as that will suck up system resources.
