Bug Description
Binary package hint: nautilus
When killing the existing nautilus process, then immediately running nautilus from the terminal before gnome-session gets to spawn another one, i.e.:
$ nautilus -q && nautilus
gnome-session spawns an infinite number of nautilus processes, filling the task bar with many "Starting File Manager" entries.
The symptoms of this bug is similar to Bug #325973, but it has a different cause.

Same problem here, when in the shell executing:
nautilus -q && nautilus --no-desktop
nautilus will spawn indefinitely. This can be stopped with executing 'nautilus -q'. The previous command is important, as it is used to debug extensions for nautilus, the command will allow to capture the output of nautilus, assuming it works as expected.
To work around this problem, edit '/usr/share/ applications/ nautilus. desktop' , change X-GNOME-AutoRestart to false and add the line 'AutostartCondi tion=GNOME /apps/nautilus/ preferences/ show_desktop' .
