I too had the same problem. I even opened a thread out of desperation:

I am running a Jaunty upgrade from a clean intrepid install. My symptoms were exactly as outline in the first post. It coincided with an Update, installing VirtualBox to run WM7 (don't ask! I just need it!) and adding msttcorefonts. As a result of wanting to use files on Ubuntu and WM7, I was sharing one of the folders to use files across OS; however I couldn't open any file as a user from any folder whether it was shared or not. If I opened Nautilus as root, everything opened fine. I did uninstall msttcorefonts but it didn't help.

I checked all the permissions and ownership of the files and the ~/.openoffice,org/ files but all seemed in order. I renamed them all in any case, all to no avail.

I then performed the partial upgrade and it works. Thank you very much.

I will re-establish the share and start using Virtualbox and let you know what happens.

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you need any other details.
