had a go at:

strace -o /tmp/log nautilus


here is result...

[root]# strace -o /tmp/log nautilus
 
** ERROR **: file nautilus-directory.c: line 546 (add_to_hash_table): 
assertion failed: (g_hash_table_lookup (directory->details->file_hash, 
file->details->relative_uri) == NULL)
aborting...


still the same as before..
