This continues to affect me. I can no longer run the nautilus file
manager in a useable state. Whether launching from the command line or
using the unity launcher for Home Folder, nautilus is hung, not
responding and 100% CPU between all 4 cores is being used. I am able to
view this behavior under gnome-system-monitor tab "resources", however
the "processes" tab does not show what's eating CPU, nor does top, nor
htop. Also, htop correlates the four cores totaling 100% constantly.
When nautilus does "run" (show its gui), it grays-out during any actions
(since the CPU is pegged, I'd assume).

I created an additional user account to test this. Nautilus appears to
work correctly under a unity session with the new user.

Logging back in with my normal user results in this same behavior, even
using the classic session w/o effects. Only by logging in to a safe-mode
session does nautilus work properly and CPU usage is normal.

What could possibly have become corrupted suddenly? The .nautilus folder
in ~/ is empty. I removed all gvfs-metadata. I cleared the zeitgeist
cache and recently-used.

Killing the nautilus process immediately spawns another, so this is
negatively affecting my entire experience w/natty since the CPU is
constantly running at 100%
