Comment 9 for bug 328966

I just tested this again on a new install of ubuntu and the bug is still in place

jens@morpheus:~$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 11.04
Release: 11.04

jens@morpheus:~$ apt-cache policy nautilus
nautilus:
  Installed: 1:2.32.2.1-0ubuntu13
  Candidate: 1:2.32.2.1-0ubuntu13
  Version table:
 *** 1:2.32.2.1-0ubuntu13 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

and I am still getting the same errors from nautilus. Gnome panel does come up now, but seems to restart every second or so.

how to reproduce:
(re)move your .gnome2 (and gnome2_private) folder
create a symlink to an nonexistent file named .gnome2 (and .gnome2_private)
try to log in.
