remove ubuntuone and watch your issue go away. that is one way to test.
but i agree with the user that marked it as a duplicate it sounds like
the same issue that people have been talking about on IRC. i dont know
if the other bug is a blanket bug or just a crash bug but either way i
got an email that it should be fixed with recent upload of ubuntuone

You are correct. However, it was previously marked as duplicate of a bug
in ubuntuone-client which was causing a Nautilus crash. The stack traces
attached by Cristophe probably caused apport or someone to mark it as a
duplicate of that bug incorrectly. I've unset the duplicate. Sorry.

could you run

and copy the logs to the bug?

I am using ubuntuone-client.
I did not try to remove & see if this helps (saw this report AFTERWARDS...) but if this behavior comes back again, i'll check it & update...
However, i tried to 'sudo make uninstall' glib-2.20.1, which was not installed when the problem came up.
so installed it, then uninstalled it.... this makes the problem disappear.

Please notice some visible clues when the problem is there :
* trash icon is gone (trying to re-add it on panel seems to work (no error raised) but no icon)
* when trying to open the "computer" icon, gedit comes up with the error "nautilus cannot handle [name:] locations" (this can be "computer")
* no usb drive is available (even SD-Cards)
* some menus in 'system' are set back to english (i'm using the 'fr' locale). For example, Preferences item is in english (not 'préférences', but 'preferences'). The 3 items 'Help', 'About Gnome' and 'About ubuntu' are also set back to english. Other items within menus are, too.

If this helps :
* trying to reinstall (through synaptics) gvfs gvfs-backends gvfs-bin gvfs-fuse packages don't change
* trying to reinstall ubuntu-desktop doesn't help either

I found other people experiencing the same thing. Please find the link below :
* http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=801597&page=4 (see post #37)

I don't know if the logs (post #10, from Sebastien Bacher) would help, but if yes, please let me know !

After reboot, the problem is back !
I had also the "ubuntuone" packages available for update, but I did not install them yet

I'll re-fix the problem tonight (reinstall & remove glib-2.20.1) & update ubuntuone ...

After reboot, the problem is once again back there.

Seems that libnss3-dev & libnspr4-dev are involved in both 2 last updates, but it may be a chance : they are not listed in previous updates I logged there.

Without notice, I couldn't access to "Computer:" through Nautilus. "Network:" were not working too. I use Gnome in French canadian, I noticed that many menu items in Applications, Shortcuts and System were in English instead of French.

This page: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=801597&page=6
suggests to do this command: sudo mkdir /usr/local/lib.old; sudo mv /usr/local/lib/libg* /usr/local/lib.old/
