couple of strange issues

[Marshall Lewis]

Because I'm bored at work, I decided to do some more debugging on my
machine at home, I have successfully figured out some of what is causing
Nautilus to crash.

I commented out the

alias usb-controller ehci-hcd
alias usb-controller1 uhci-hcd

lines in my modprobe.conf, and now nautilus won't segfault.. so I'm
fairly certain that it's some usb device that's causing the issue.. I
have a few card readers (sdcard, memstick, xbox memcard) plugged in,
none of them have any cards in.. maybe one or more of them are causing
it?  (other items on the usb bus include a dvd writer, web cam w/sound,
headset, mouse).

Any thoughts?
