Hello,

Bug linked to this one: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus-open-terminal/+bug/869131

It seems that nautilus-open-terminal crashes because it uses this function a lot of time: 'gconf_client_get_bool'. It's possible that this function is called two time at the same time (from two different threads) and I guess this is why nautilus crashes randomly. But I'm not a specialist and it's highly possible that I'm wrong ;)

PS: Thank you for your great work!

the issue is a double unref in ubuntuone-client-gnome not a gconf issue
