I've had the same problem with sshfs, referring to the remote machine by its winbind name. If I try to browse the mount while the machine is off the network, nautilus freezes, and any attempts to restart it give me the Unique-DBus-WARNING. I tried using Thunar instead, and it too froze as soon as I navigated to the directory /containing/ the mountpoint.

To fix it I had to:
- fusermount -uz the mountpoint
- Kill nautilus
- Stop winbindd
- Restart nautilus

Then I can restart winbindd and carry on my merry way. Still, this was extremely unobvious, and made more complicated because I didn't know the mounted machine was down (and thus causing the problem). From the sound of things, desktop thumbnails are a different problem; this is about nautilus blowing up when a network mount dies.

Using up-to-date Lucid. Had it happen a couple times over the past few months, now.
