I was trying to do this but unfortunately failed; 
Following the instructions on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash and 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash I added the ddebs-line to apt and 
installed nautilus-dbgsym. 
First I tried running gdb nautilus 2>&1 | tee gdb-nautilius.txt but that did 
not work. The only output from gdb was 

GNU gdb 6.7.1-debian

(gdb) 

without opening a nautilus window.
I then opened a nautilus window manually, determined the process number and 
attached gdb to this process. When reproducing my crash however, gdb seemed to 
crash as well. I used 'force quit' on the nautilus window; gdb did not react to 
any commands. I then closed the terminal running gdb. Now I cannot open new 
nautilus windows at all, nor can I kill the window which process number I used 
above (it seems to be running still, even though the window disappeared).

Some more details about the bug:
This seems to occur when trying to open or copy svg-files created by 
mathematica via ssh. I believe that only svg-files from mathematica reproduce 
this crash, but am not sure yet.

If there is more advice on how to debug this I'd be glad to give it a
shot.
