Hi Gareth, UI/GtkBuilder files were never really meant to be hand edited by users; Nautilus expects to fetch some widgets from there and crashes or error conditions might happen if the expected data is not found. Having said that, Nautilus 3.4 started using GResource [1], so all that runtime data is now compiled into a binary bundle, which is linked into the executable. If you want to build a custom Nautilus with some modifications in such data, I recommend you treat the operation in the same way you would treat a patch to the source code, i.e. you should maintain a patched package build or something similar.
