nautilus segmentation fault

[ChrisLees]

On Oneric, it seems that whenever I maximise a window, it will cause Nautilus to crash. After it has crashed, I can't get it to open again either from the terminal or from the Home Folder icon in the launcher. The window will appear briefly but then disappear.

This is the output from the console when I try to run Nautilus from there:

chris@chris-desktop:~$ nautilus
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "rgba"

(nautilus:3828): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_action_set_visible: assertion `GTK_IS_ACTION (action)' failed
Segmentation fault

Even after logging out and logging back in, Nautilus won't open - it will only work again after reboot. Even if I switch from Unity 3D to 2D, still won't work.

Minimising the maximised window during this problem seems to cause X to freeze up, requiring an Alt-Sysrq-K to get back to the login screen.

Funnily enough, launching Nautilus by clicking on the Trash icon actually works and I can navigate anywhere in that window.
