Nicely done:
nautilus (1:3.2.1-2ubuntu7) precise; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/05_desktop_menu_export.patch:
    - drop the hack to avoid the nautilus menubar displayed on the desktop on
      non unity session, it's buggy, spam the session log and the issue 
      has been fixed properly in gtk with a recent update (lp: #912379)

now , logged as gnome-classic, xsession-error is quite clean, no more
error flooding as before; thats really works, thanks. And of course the
memory leak is solved too on my end.

Title:
  nautilus memory leak

Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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!
