Dear Maintainer,

Whenever I restart Debian, an error makes Nautilus unable to open for at least
20 minutes (or more) after session start. Sometimes it takes even 30 minutes or
more before Nautilus is able to start. When I say "is able to start", that's
because I can log in a Gnome session, use whatever other programs I have
installed, but whenever I try to open Nautilus, via graphical menu or command
line, this is the behaviour:

1) In graphical mode, it will just keep "waiting" (that "circling" mouse
cursor) for some time (a minute or so), and then the cursor will turn back to
normal (the "arrow"). I try opening it again and again, to no avail. 20 or 30
minutes later, a Nautilus windows opens (or more windows, depending on the
number of times I tried opening it).

2) Running "nautilus" via command line (inside a Gnome session) results in a
blinking prompt for 20 or 30 minutes before it finally opens.

3) I tried deleting Nautilus' bookmarks, to no effect. Disabling accessibility
features haven't changed Nautilus' behaviour.

4) I was able to get a long strace log going up to the point where Nautilus
gets stuck. I had to interrupt it because whenever Nautilus finally starts, the
log gets even longer. The log is attached to this report.

As I don't know what else can be done, maybe someone else can help with it.
