Bug Description
There is a way to capture what you're doing on your screen (with movement) into a big multi-layered GIF file (which can lead to several hundreds of layers). Although I don't know how to do this, I downloaded one of those GIFs from the web (see attached file), which has about 800 layers and saved it in my home directory.
From that moment on, when I opened my home directory with nautilus, it had very much trouble trying to make a preview of this file : everything went veeery slow (nautilus eating up about 75% of the RAM), nearly completely frozen, until nautilus finally crashes, and then reopens, automatically displaying my home directory, and the problem is back again :)
Opening the file with eog from the command line leads to the same kind of result : eog eats up most of the RAM but doesn't seem to end up actually displaying the file (however, I must say I wasn't patient enough to let it work for a very long time).
Opening the file with GIMP takes a few seconds, but GIMP manages it and displays all the layers perfectly.
