What did you exactly put in your "~/.gnomerc"?

The right thing would be:
        LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/some/dir/you/want:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
        export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

(To check if everything is right, open a terminal, and run one of the
following (or both):
        echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
        set
also, I know you said you want to run it from Nautilus directly, try
running your application from a shell to see what it might report to you
or check ~/.xsession-errors for any error reported by the application.)

Ziyad.
