This has happened to me on some really slow/low memory laptops when they
are trying to load Nautilus and have a lot of memory swapped (the system
struggling to keep up).

It has also happened to me on a P4-3.2ghz machine with 1gb RAM when
network shares were slow to respond (Nautilus is brutal for that if you
use NFS and the server disappears).

On a somewhat related note I've spent some of today switching to Autofs
mounts for my NFS shares due to Nautilus suckage.
