It seems to me that while you are in the debugger you hit Ctrl+C after nautilus has finished hogging your system. This is not good because it gives the backtrace of a "sleeping" process, which is not interesting.
You should interrupt nautilus while it is actively using the CPU.

I suggest running the debugger several times; each time you hit Ctrl+C nautilus will be stopped at a different time and different backtraces will be obtained. You can even do this in a single gdb run.

Instead of quiting gdb, continue and repeat the interrupting and backtrace.

(gdb) continue
<Ctrl+C again>
(gdb) backtrace full
... etc.
