Interesting, beforehand I didn't had any problems with external HDD but since some recent update now it happens that whatever external USB Data device I connect (USB Stick, Amazon Kindle, Mobile Phone,...) nautilus crashes without apport generating any error report at all. And afterwards I can't open nautilus at all, even after removing the USB device. Need to reboot the client.

This works about 95% of the time. This is a laptop that always gets this error on boot up and only has one screen, no docking station, so its not anything related to screen size I should think.
