You might need to make sure all nautilus processes have been killed before starting one under gdb - nautilus probably has some "single instance" logic going on. The "pool" thread is not visible in ps, but it's visible in pstree: it's probably the thread where miscellaneous background jobs that don't have their own thread are scheduled. For instance: % pstree -p ... ├─nautilus(9073)─┬─{dconf worker}(9079) │ ├─{gdbus}(9076) │ ├─{gmain}(9078) │ └─{pool}(9077) ... Process 9073 represents the nautilus process as a whole, and 9073 is also the thread ID of its main thread; the children in {} are other threads inside process 9073.
