Strange Nautilus behavior after updates and rebooting machine with VNC connection

[KC8LDO]

Anybody notice strange Nautilus behavior after updates and rebooting machine 
with a persistent VNC connection setup?  I don't leave the machine on all 
the time thus the rebooting. I've been getting rather annoyed with the way 
Nautilus is failing to display my home folder's contents after doing a 
routine update and rebooting the machine. Clicking on the home folder icon 
will open the Nautilus application and display an empty window, on the right 
hand side, where the contents of my home folder should be. The icon in the 
upper right corner of the window has the spinning effect, like its doing 
something, but nothing ever seems to show up. Nautilus will display the 
folder contents of other folders just fine, just not my home folder after an 
update reboot sequence. I did find that rebooting a second time always seems 
to fix the problem, why I don't know.

I also have two applications that crash on me every time as well, nm-applet 
and gnome-setting daemon, both while using a VNC session over my home LAN 
when first booted up and connecting using VNC. The above two applications 
don't seem to crash when logging in with a directly attached console 
however. The application crashing I posted the crash report to the gnome 
mailing list.
