@Peter, it is very deterministic. The problem only manifests when Docky auto-starts. When that happens, Nautilus fails to launch. I believe the issue is that some environment variable(s) are not fully set at that point, Docky inherits that (incomplete) environment, and then passes it on to Nautilus when it launches.

The solution is to start Docky after your desktop has loaded. If you auto-start, close and restart Docky and it works perfect.

The other solution is to edit your launcher to add the 'space period' at the end of the exec. With this solution, Nautilus always launches.
