The error reports seem to be random memory corruption. I'm not sure that this SRU is causing these - it may be that there is an existing corruption issue that causes different stack traces each time it occurs. Looking at https://errors.ubuntu.com/?release=Ubuntu%2014.04&package=nautilus&period=day seems to indicate this might be the case.

[Test Case] 1. Create a test account 2. Log into this account from a text terminal 3. Create an invalid nautilus configuration directory: $ mkdir .config $ touch .config/nautilus 4. Log into this account from the greeter Expected result: You arrive at the users desktop Observed result: You arrive at the users desktop but background icons are not shown. A blank dialog pops up momentarily then a crash report dialog. The blank dialog periodically pops up again (as nautilus attempts to restart). [Regression Potential] There is a low risk that the proposed fix could cause other unforceen bugs.
