When this happens, I think the nautilus process is segfaulting and being
autorestarted (thanks drs305 for the hint). I've finally managed to
capture a backtrace:

I don't know whether this behaviour causes my "x clients" list to be

Either way, my session is totally bust afterwards, and I must restart X.
