For me (on Ubuntu), it sure does give output. Have you tried killing
nautilus on your system (you may already have a Nautilus process running)
and starting a fresh one?
I ran:
paulprot...@vellum:~ $ killall nautilus
paulprot...@vellum:~ $ strace -f nautilus 2>&1 | fgrep extensions | less
The first few lines of output are:
[pid 16972] open("/usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-2.0",
O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_LARGEFILE|O_DIRECTORY|0x80000) = 21
[pid 16972] stat64("/usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-2.0/libnautilus-python.so",
{st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=22028, ...}) = 0
[pid 16972] open("/usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-2.0/libnautilus-python.so",
O_RDONLY) = 22
[pid 16972] open("/usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-2.0/python",

Thanks. We at CC mostly use Ubuntu and teensy bit of Debian, but Scott who
co-wrote liblicense originally used Gentoo when he was an intern here.
Still, I think that you should be able to move forward. I hope we can work
through this!
