Nautilus crashes when starting as root on fresh install of Ubuntu 14

[Aditya]

Nautilus crashes everytime I try to invoke it as root. Following are the Error messages that I get in terminal:

aditya@aditya-desktop:~$ sudo -i
root@aditya-desktop:~# nautilus

(nautilus:6319): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to register client: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.SessionManager was not provided by any .service files

I am using a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04.

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

my nautilus also crashes as root.
I can start nautilus as root, but when I want to change the properties of my usb-stick it crashes with the following:

sudo -i
nautilus

(nautilus:5901): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to register client: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.SessionManager was not provided by any .service files

The issue was fixed sometime back during regular updates provided by the Update Manager. I am now able to start Nautilus as root on Ubuntu 14.04..

The status of the bug should be changed. I am not doing it myself, since I am a bit unexperienced and not sure if bugs that are fixed during regular updates, how are they tagged in the Status field.

Same bug exist in Ubuntu 14.10, mostly on LiveCD on with it seem it hasn't become fixed
