Description of problem:
Running nautilus from the command line in a terminal window (in a default
gnome session with nautilus running) using:
  nautilus /home/bob
OR with
  nautilus file:///home/bob
opens a window of the location if it exists and reports an error if it 
does not exist.
However, running the commands:
  nautilus /home/bob/pam
OR
  nautilus file:///home/bob/pam
causes the session nautilus to crash if the location does not exist.

How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. in a terminal window run the command:
  nautilus /home/bob/pam

where the location /home/bob does not exist.


Actual Results:
bug reporter kicks in, after which
session nautilus restarts

Expected Results:
an error message saying /home/bob/pam does not exist
