Bug#525718: nautilus 2.26.2-2 continuously launches/exits at login

[Josh Triplett]

Package: nautilus
Version: 2.26.2-2
Severity: important

After upgrading to nautilus 2.26.2-2, the next time I logged in I saw a
continuous series of nautilus icons showing up in the window list with
"starting file manager" or similar as the text.  Several calls to "ps
uxf" revealed nautilus continuously exiting and re-launching.

I don't know what caused nautilus to die.  It *looks* like gnome-session
does the re-launching of nautilus.  .xsession-errors had no messages
from nautilus and no repeated messages from anything.

I downgraded nautilus back to 2.24.2-2, and the problem went away.
After logging in with 2.24.2-2, I see no nautilus processes running.  (I
have /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop=false, so that makes
sense.)

Note that the dependencies listed below come after downgrading nautilus
back to 2.24.2-2.
