Hey,
We found the bug in the end.
It was in the fstab, there were a line there that nautilus didn't like.
I forgot which line it was though..
Anyhow I found it in googling debian mailing list
so you can see which exact line it is there or just
try removing them one by one:)
Nope.
I looked around and found reference to usb-related entries,
so I commented out these, and later everything else
(sans the root and swap pertitions) ans still Nautilus crashes.
it contains some antique entries (my system was over 40 days
up and I heard some mentioning of udev changing its mount
point recently), still nautilus crashes.
Next I'll try the IRC channel Tzafrir mentioned in his reply.
If someone else other ideas I'd be glad to hear.
Thanks,
