I did sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade, then I installed
nautilus-dbg and tried running it through gdb as described on the
"Backtrace" page. However now the problem was gone!

So I uninstalled nautilus-dbg again to see if that did anything, but it still worked fine. Scrolling up the terminal, I see that the apt-get upgrade upgraded nautilus-share from 0.7.3-1 to 0.7.3-1ubuntu1:
"Gjør klar til å bytte ut nautilus-share 0.7.3-1 (ved bruk av .../nautilus-share_0.7.3-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb) ..." (in norwegian, but you get the idea; "preparing to change ... (using ...)")

Title:
  Nautilus crashes when accessing home folder shortcuts which are
  symbolic links

Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I've mapped ~/Documents, ~/Pictures etc. to another harddrive (NTFS);
  /media/500GB/Documents, /media/500GB/Pictures etc. (Or actually
  ~/Dokumenter, ~/Bilder, etc. since I'm using the norwegian version of
  Ubuntu). /media/500GB is set up to automount on boot, and lets me
  conveniently share my home folders with the Windows 7 installation I'm
  dual booting with. Haven't symbolically linked my Windows 7 home
  folders to that disk yet though, I don't really use it ;)

  When I open a Nautilus window, I can browse around folders (as I
  always enjoy doing when I've got some spare time) with no problems. I
  can browse to /media/500GB and its subfolders as well. However, if I
  click the "Documents" shortcut (or "Pictures" etc.) from the Computer
  section (not the Bookmarks section), Nautilus just closes down (I
  assume it's some form of a crash).

  Edit: It also happens when I try to open the symbolic links by double-clicking or pressing enter on them, so it's probably not got to do with the menu itself. Still works through the terminal though, so the symbolic links themselves are working.
  Edit 2: I meant "symbolic", not "semantic" (I've been reading too much about metadata lately)

  It worked earlier, so I don't know what's changed.
