Bug Description

Nautilus refuses to launch by any means.

When I launch it from the command line, I see the error:

localhost:~$ nautilus
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NotSupported: Application does not handle command line arguments

(nautilus:31396): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_dbus_interface_skeleton_unexport: assertion 'interface_->priv->connections != NULL' failed

(nautilus:31396): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_dbus_interface_skeleton_unexport: assertion 'interface_->priv->connections != NULL' failed

I recently upgraded from 14.04 to 16.04. Under 14.04, Nautilus worked fine.

This seems to be related to this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gthumb/+bug/1327002

Running `ps aux|grep -i nautilus|grep -v grep` showed there was a process running called `nautilus -n`. This instance seemed to somehow be blocking additional instances from launching. After I killed this, I was able to launch Nautilus as normal via the Gnome launcher and via the command line.
