Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, your crash report is either missing or challenging to deal with as a '.crash' file. Please follow these instructions to have apport report a new bug about your crash that can be dealt with by the automatic retracer.

 If you are running the Ubuntu Stable Release you might need to enable apport in /etc/default/apport and restart.

 If you are using Ubuntu with the Gnome desktop environment - launch nautilus and navigate to your /var/crash directory and double click on the crash report you wish to submit.

 If you are using Kubuntu or Xubuntu you can file the crash using /usr/share/apport/apport-qt --crash-file=/var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash in a terminal - where _my_crash_report.crash is the crash you would like to report.
 I'm closing this bug report since the process outlined above will automatically open a new bug report which can then dealt with more efficiently. Thanks in advance for your cooperation and understanding.

Sorry, Sebastien, there are no crash reports in /var/crash related to this bug. The system doesn't report crash either, speaking of "nautilus crashed" I meant "nautilus closed unexpectedly".

The bug produces no .crash reports in /var/crash. It could not be handled the way advised in post #2 by Sebastien Bacher

Could you try to obtain a backtrace following the instructions at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash and upload the backtrace (as an attachment) to the bug report?

Hello Sebastien.
I'm sorry but I could not debug the program. I followed all steps in the wiki, but somehow GDB doesn't find nautilus' debug symbols.
BUT! I think there is a MAJOR problem with drag'n'drop in Nautilus.
E.g.
1) Open Nautilus (any directory), and open any other program, so it'll appear in taskbar.
2) Next, drag a program from taskbar to Nautilus' window.
3) Nautilus crashes :(

the issue seems similar to bug #389888
