OK. I've done the above except I used this command line:
$ journalctl --user -f

I've got Nautilus running and will continue using my computer as normal.

I'll get in touch later either with crash information or just to say it
isn't crashing when I want it to :)

I did read that long pathnames were causing crashes in Nautilus. That gave
me a crash some time ago and I suspect it might have been fixed...

BW,


Ian
