Without knowing exactly what it changes, I think the easiest way would be to
do a 'diff' on your home directory and see what it changed. Make sure you
exit Nautilus before the change and after, to make sure it writes out any
in-memory configuration.
Here's a rather brute force way:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
cd
mkdir before after
# Exit Nautilus
cp -vr .[^.]* before/.
# Start Nautilus, make a change to the properties, then exit nautilus
cp -vr .[^.]* after/.
diff -Nurd before after
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Or maybe copying /all/ the dotfiles is overkill; I'll let you decide and
compare as appropriate. I don't have Nautilus installed right now, otherwise
I'd check.
