what I call "in use" is like interacting with it rather than letting it
"sit there"

the ubuntu-bug collecting job added that list to the bug:
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/85141332/usr_lib_nautilus.txt

which is the packages you have installed which add a .so to the nautilus
directory

so that seems to not be coherent with your comments...

to reply to your other question, no, leaks are not especially a nautilus
bug, they can be due to third party softwares which install some .so
loaded by nautilus, leaks in those would show in the nautilus process
since that's where they are loaded, the 3 packages listed in comment #6
do install a such .so and could be causing the issue (the other ones in
the list of the file I listed as well but those are installed by default
and would affect all users where your issue is not something most users
notice)

Title:
  nautilus memory leak

Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  There are other bug reports with this description, but they are either
  3-4 years old, or closed, or invalid, or expired.

  I'm not doing anything exotic, but after about an hour or two of using
  my system (not even copying or moving files, or thumbnailing, or...)
  memory usage in nautilus goes up to 1.4G or so. When I kill this task,
  re-launch nautilus, it sits happily on just a few hundred meg... and
  then begins to grow again.

  It also takes a LONG time to start up, and the system is very
  unresponsive meanwhile... like 20 seconds. This may be a useful clue?

  I tried to do a valgrind report, but it makes nautilus so slow as to
  be unusable -- like 2 minutes to open a folder on the desktop... so I
  couldn't exactly "use it normally" to get a good log. Nonetheless,
  here's a log I did capture.

  I trust that the data captured by ubuntu-bug will have my library
  versions, cpu type, RAM info, etc. Please let me know what else I can
  provide. Thanks!
