Bug Description

Oneiric ALPHA 2. Nautilus crashes when files are dragged out of a window to desktop. When I try to apport the failure i receive this message. The problem cannot be reported:

nautilus, dbus, debianutils, desktop-file-utils, gcc-4.6-base, gnome-desktop3-data, gvfs, initramfs-tools, initramfs-tools-bin, initscripts, libatk1.0-0, libatk1.0-data, libc-bin, libc6, libcups2, libdbus-1-3, libdbus-glib-1-2, libegl1-mesa, libffi6, libgail-3-0, libgbm1, libgcc1, libgcrypt11, libgdu0, libgl1-mesa-glx, libglapi-mesa, libglib2.0-0, libglib2.0-data, libgnome-desktop-3-2, libgnome-keyring0, libgtk-3-0, libgtk-3-common, libgudev-1.0-0, libnautilus-extension1, libpango1.0-0, libpixman-1-0, libplymouth2, libstdc++6, libudev0, mountall, multiarch-support, nautilus-data, perl-base, plymouth, sysv-rc, sysvinit-utils, udev, x11-common. If I upgrade the boot-up fails at the login screen, making the OS unusable. If I try to select user name the login window disappears leaving the cursor on the desktop background with no icons or interface of any kind.

I can't upgrade. When I try the OS fails at login. I get a message asking if I want to do a partial upgrade for various reasons. It reaches the login window. When I click enter or select user name with the cursor, the login screen disappears leaving me on what looks like the desktop background image with no icons, unity panel or anything. I can login with a tty, but I don't know what to do at that point.
