For some odd reason this package crashes the desktop when trying to access ~/Downloads folder or a symlink with the name Downloads that point to some directory.
The desktop or file manager to be more precise (caja) restarts but every window that was opened in caja does not reopen.
No other folder or symlink do that, or if I rename "Downloads" to "Download" or "downloads" the file manager doesn't crash upon opening the folder, it has to do something with the name "Downloads"...
$HOME/Downloads is not a bookmark BTW.
If I open ~/Downloads with thunar on mate-desktop nothing happens...
I even created a new user and tested it to be sure that is not related to some odd config...
~/.xsession-errors doesn't say anything...
The permissions are fine, I even created the folder manually and after with xdg-user-dirs and logout - login and still the same.
No matter how I open the "Downloads" folder/symlink to a directory, be it double click, context menu > Open in New Tab or Open in New Window...
I've managed to reproduce the bug on virtualbox with archlinux but I can't be sure if it's present on other distros (with the latest packages).
I first installed (on arch-virtualbox) the mate group "pacman -S mate" then saw that everything was fine and caja didn't crashed, then installed the extra packages with "pacman -S mate-extra" and caja crashed when opening ~/Downloads.
So I knew that some package in "mate-extra" was to blame so I removed them one by one...
After removing mate-user-share the desktop crashes once maybe because it was still loaded in memory but after that everything was ok, no more crashes.
Culprit found :D
Xmas morning and I'm writing novels ... I mean reporting bugs... haha.
