Hi Jason,

As an extension developer too, I've already seen the "Nautilus
starts many many many instances" syndrom: this has appeared
after 'killall nautilus' to take into account a new version of
the extension library. It seems that the system believes that
Nautilus has terminated, so starting a new instance, but the
initial Nautilus process is always in memory.
One reason: one buggy extension library, failing to initialize.

Also, I use g_debug+syslog for debugging messages.

Pierre
