Yes, I also see this. I notice also that opening Nautilus (via Computer
- Home) takes around 15 seconds with a further 20 seconds before the
icons appear. Previously, this was nearly instantaneous. But, if I use
Computer - Disks, it takes about 5 seconds.

Finally, if I launch it from a terminal I get
failed to find gam_server
failed to exec (null)
Failed to connect to socket /tmp/fam-vic-
failed to find gam_server

Failed to connect to socket /tmp/fam-vic-
(But it opens eventually anyway).
