cmurtaugh@yahoo.com (Colin Murtaugh) also submitted bug #96914 immediately before submitting this one, about the same problem (nautilus 2.0.7 crashes immediately on startup). This has a different stack trace, but it might be showing what happens after the #96914 crash when you immediately try it again. I don't know if this is useful or not, but thought I'd point it out. Is it helpful?
Also bugs #97031, #97050, #97075 have a similar description but a different stacktrace. They are all of pretty similar releases.
Colin: are you seeing this on logins that aren't affected by other crashes? Is it still repeatable? Also, what version of gnome-vfs do you have installed?
I backed off to an earlier version to get a stable desktop back, but if I have time today I can give it another try.
I just updated to the latest snaps on my 7.2 machine and I'm still seeing the problem with Nautilus. I've got gnome-vfs-1.0.5-4.ximian.5 installed. I get the Nautilus problem both with my own login, and with a brand-new login.
Should have mentioned that I also have gnome-vfs2-2.0.4.0.200210290744-0.snap.ximian.1 installed.

100782 is in 2.0.7 as well
reopening this bug
This should be fixed in 2.1.0. I'm pretty sure this checkin fixed it: 2002-09-04 Dave Camp <dave@ximian.com> * libnautilus-private/nautilus-trash-directory.c: (add_volume): Don't start a search for a trash directory if one is already running. Only repopen this bug if you can reproduce it with >= 2.2.0
*** Bug 114990 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
The most recent duplicate was in version 2.2.1. Updating the version information and reopening.
*** Bug 115045 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
The most recent duplicate was in nautilus 2.3.4 and contained some debugging symbols (for about half the functions...) Setting version->2.3.x, and updating GNOMEVER2.0->GNOMEVER2.3
*** Bug 119522 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
This should be fixed in gnome-vfs cvs.
*** Bug 122767 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
*** Bug 123396 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
bug 123396 is from nautilus-2.4.0-3. Should be reopened, but I have not enough mana. :)
I hesitate to reopen this because I'm not so sure the last two bugs marked as duplicates really are duplicates. The stack traces do look similar, but not similar enough that I'd be confident in marking as dups. But mwehner@tfh-berlin.de may be familiar with the nautilus & gnome-vfs code (and I'm not). It also seems unclear to me whether the reporters of those two bugs were merely using nautilus 2.4.0 with an old gnome-vfs or if they were using a newer gnome-vfs as well. Anyone want to comment?
*** Bug 123457 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Yes, I'm sure this one is fixed in gnome-vfs cvs (but not in 2.4.0). Here's the Changelog entry for the fix: 2003-09-17 Alexander Larsson <alexl@redhat.com> * libgnomevfs/gnome-vfs-async-job-map.c (_gnome_vfs_async_job_map_get_job): Don't assert async_job_map != NULL. Patch from Martin Wehner <martin.wehner@epost.de> For a detailed description of the problem see: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/nautilus-list/2003-September/msg00155.html I'm adding the GNOMEVER2.4 keyword, setting version->2.4.x and closing it again.
