It seems to be a pure Nautilus problem indeed. It is not Gnome but Nautilus that freezes. Restarting Nautilus is sufficient to get it working for a while, there is no need to restart the X-Server as I did first.
There is no ordinary program crash; Nautilus freezes rather slowly: To begin, the specific icons for music files are replaced by neutral symbols, then Nautilus refuses to open files and the above mentioned error-message appears. At last even open windows can't be closed any more. The Gnome-panels continue to work. So Nautilus can be shut down and restartet by system/administration/system-monitor. It seems to me that Nautilus behaves as if there really were too many open files, even if there are not. I suppose that it forgets to close files correctly after handling them. I think the problem is new in Gutsy (Nautilus 2.20.0).
