Nautilus gives a pop-up about an unhandled exception when the user clicks on the 'Recent' section in the file tree.

Release: 16.10
Kernel: L4.8.0-27-generic #29-Ubuntu SMP x86_64
apt-cache policy nautilus:
   nautilus:
     Installed: 1:3.20.3-1ubuntu3

Steps to reproduce:
1. Boot up, login, open nautilus from desktop.
2. Click on 'Recent' in file tree.
3. Expect to see nautilus open to list of recent files.
4. Instead gives pop-up that reads "Message recipient disconnected from message bus without replying" - see attachments.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Same here. Tried cleaning the recents list and removing all nautilus settings, didn't help. Happened after upgrading to 16.10
