Thanks for the quick reply. I tried to get a backtrace using gdb before but it didn't output anything useful (see attachment). Thats why I attached the strace. By not starting I mean I cannot generate new instances of nautilus (file browser windows) besides the already running desktop process. The self test doesn't report any errors either:
