FIX: Nautilus hangs when delete large files or folders

Nautilus started to freeze a few days ago, I haven't really looked up to what was underneath until I had to clean up and archive my documents. After some digging around, it turned out Vineyard (a wine configuration tool) was the culprit. As it turned out, the author on the tool published this on a bug tracker and instructions on how to fix.

"As the author of Vineyard, I can confirm that one of the extensions installed caused this behaviour.
I'm of course sorry for the trouble and would like to point out that this is already fixed and that the next version won't have this issue."

For now a simple:

$ sudo rm /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-2.0/python/vineyard-configuration-selection.py

will do the trick.
