I can confirm this on U7.10.

I also have some extra information.

Sebastien: For me Nautilus doesn't crash just uses 100% CPU (I think the crash reports above are different bugs). No record of crash or any details entered in any log for me.

This is how it occurs for me:

1/ startup PC.
2/ login
3/ Can do [Places->home] and quit OK. Can re-do numerous times OK.
4/ logout
5/ login
6/ Nautilus using 100% CPU (or near to).
7/ Can't do [Places->home] - no response.
8/ End Nautilus process.
9/ Can do [Places->home] but on quit Nautilus starts using 100% CPU again.
10/ End Nautilus process.
11/ logout
12/ login
13/ Can do [Places->home] and quit OK. Can re-do numerous times OK.
14/ logout
15/ login
16/ Nautilus using 100% CPU (or near to).
17/ Can't do [Places->home] - no response.
18/ End Nautilus process.
19/ Can do [Places->home] but on quit Nautilus starts using 100% CPU again.
20/ End Nautilus process.
21/ logout
..... problem repeats indefinitely on an every second login basis.

You can see from the above that Nautilus runs away with CPU time only on every second login (ie login 2,4,6...).
Login 1,3,5... all is OK.

Perhaps someone else can confirm this cycle.
Also, when Nautilus is using 100% CPU, logout doesn't work (or perhaps it would work if enough time were given).
