nautilus does not seem to fork when run from terminal

[Victor Zamanian]

Usually, launching nautilus from a terminal used to give the prompt back. It does not anymore.

What I expect to happen is this (comments are within "[]"):

~$ cd Documents
~/Documents$ nautilus .
[Here, a nautilus window opens show contents of ~/Documents.]
~/Documents$

But what happens is this:

~$ cd Documents
~/Documents$ nautilus .
Initializing nautilus-gdu extension
[Here, I don't get the prompt back. Only after I close the resulting nautilus window, I get the prompt back.]
Shutting down nautilus-gdu extension
~/Documents$
