I've just played a little with Nautilus. As far as I see, Nautilus is NOT a
wellbehaved X11 application: It does not listen to the $DISPLAY variable!
and it does not have a -display option!
A little investigation shows it is even worse! It does have a --display
option ("--display=${DISPLAY}"), however, it does not listen to that one
too!
For vnc: if Xvnc is started with vncserver, nautilus will not display on the
Xvnc display.
For Xvnc-xdhcp sessions (like `vncserver -query localhost`, `Xvnc :7 -query
localhost` or setup as on
http://www.sourcecodecorner.com/articles/vnc/linux.asp) Nautilus displays
properly in Xvnc.
I don't know details on Nautilus but I'd complain with them.

If it is to complete the gnome desktop in a vnc session, use the setup as on
http://www.sourcecodecorner.com/articles/vnc/linux.asp .
