Mmmmm ... could it be a corrupt gconf database?  On the few occasions
when I've used gconf (specifically, when using galeon) I noticed it
had a tendency to corrupt itself on a regular basis.

Unfortunately if you wipe the gconf database then you'll lose all your
bookmarks and shortcuts and whatever.  Does anyone know if it's
possible to surgically examine/remove part of the database?

Ah, another idea:  try:

strace -o /tmp/log nautilus

and have a look at what files it's accessing just before it crashes
(at the end of that big log file).  That might give you some clue as
to what resource / file / gconf setting is broken.
