OK, I've installed the dbgsym packages on my feisty machine (I was
wanting to install them on the dapper one at work), and there I get
exactly the same kind of behaviour as hggdh has: an endless loop writing
to nautilus-debug-log.txt, where that file begins

I'm wondering whether I should trace this through from the other direction: 
what's the name of the tool that appears when you press alt-f2, and which 
package provides it?

'#' in the alt-F2 box crashes nautilus
