Title:
  Nautilus does not start properly: creates PID but no window: although
  starts as root

Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Starting nautilus creates no window. From a terminal, I get:

  > nautilus
  ** Message: Init Stock Icons
  Initializing nautilus-ideviceinfo extension
  Initializing nautilus-gdu extension
  Initializing nautilus-open-terminal extension
  nautilus-wipe-Message: Initializing

  ... and nothing else. Using ps I see:

  ps -ef| grep nautilus
  homer    13567     1  1 12:07 ?        00:00:00 nautilus /home/homer
  homer    13648 13581  0 12:07 pts/2    00:00:00 grep --color=auto nautilus

  Using Ctrl-C or Ctrl-Z has no effect:
  ^C^C^C^Z^Z^Z    <-(nothing happens)

  I have to kill it from another terminal or System Monitor.

  Starting as root I get:

  > nautilus
  ** Message: Init Stock Icons
  Initializing nautilus-ideviceinfo extension
  Initializing nautilus-gdu extension
  Initializing nautilus-open-terminal extension
  nautilus-wipe-Message: Initializing
  ** (nautilus:13802): CRITICAL **: 
nautilus_menu_provider_get_background_items: assertion 
`NAUTILUS_IS_MENU_PROVIDER (provider)' failed
  ** (nautilus:13802): CRITICAL **: 
nautilus_menu_provider_get_background_items: assertion 
`NAUTILUS_IS_MENU_PROVIDER (provider)' failed

  ... and nautilus starts.

  Ctrl-Z also now works.

  ^C^C^C^Z
  [1]+  Stopped                 nautilus
  root@blackbox ~
  > fg
  nautilus
  ... of course, nautilus still keeps running, even when I exit nautilus using 
Alt-F4. I have to use a second terminal to kill it.

  What I've tried according to other posts

  - Reinstalling nautilus
  - Looking at permissions for the binary.
