When experiencing the issue over the last couple of weeks, it seems as if the suggested workaround command ($ killall gvfsd-trash) makes the issue go away. (Next time I click on the nautilus icon after running the command it opens instantly.)

I have timed it using a watch, and it seems to take between 30 seconds and 1 minute from the relevant button is pressed before Nautilus appears on screen. This has been occurring for months. I think it started occuring after updating to Ubuntu 20.10, but I no longer remember precisely. I guessed it was a known issue that would be fixed, or just an issue specific to my setup, but now I am beginning to wonder whether I am facing some kind of true bug. All my hours of Google-fu and poking around the system has turned up nothing useful. In contrast to e.g. #1886021, there are no error messaged in the terminal that give any hints. Nor are there anything useful in the syslog – at least that I am able to spot. Given how infuriating it is to always have to wait for 30+ seconds to open any file dialog, I am very willing to help debug this. But I have now reached the limits of my (admittedly limited) debugging abilities.
