Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

Whenever fonts change on the system, the entire desktop background flashes to the Gtk theme colour, and then back to the background.

It's easy enough to reproduce: Install a font into ~/.fonts or `touch` a font file that's already in their.

After tweaking my Gtk theme settings, I can see this issue happens when anything to do with the theme changes. It seems to be something connected to GtkSettings changing in the nautilus code.
