Problem with Nautilus and Ubuntu 13.10

This just happened today. Nautilus (3.8.2) on my Ubuntu 13.10 machine used to work fine, but now, when I try to run it (either from the icon or command line), it opens for about a second and then closes/crashes. The behaviour from the command line is as follows:

me@Bedrock1:~$ nautilus

sys:1: Warning: g_object_set: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed



(nautilus:3388): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_loader_close: assertion 'GDK_IS_PIXBUF_LOADER (loader)' failed



(nautilus:3388): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_loader_get_pixbuf: assertion 'GDK_IS_PIXBUF_LOADER (loader)' failed

sys:1: Warning: g_object_unref: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

Segmentation fault

Does this make any sense? Is there an easy way to see if I installed any libraries yesterday or today, that may be causing this problem?

For now, I'm avoiding the problem by using Dolphin, but am worried there's a problem that will bite me in other applications.

I don't understand how I fixed it, but this is what I did:

I uninstalled & reinstalled python-nautilus & tortoisehg-nautilus using Synaptic. I came upon this solution as follows:

1 Further web-searching revealed that python-nautilus can cause the 

  Nautilus crash I saw, so I used Synaptic to uninstall it  (i.e. python-nautilus)

When python-nautilus was uninstalled, tortoisehg-nautilus was also uninstalled. This made nautilus work again, but .....

I had since learned how to view my installation history, and saw that the most recent installations I had before my problem were of xsane-common, xsane & sane. Since the two packages I unistalled had been on my system before the problem appeared, I decided to reinstall them and then see which of the sane installs caused my problem with Nautilus.

2 Upon reinstalling python-nautilus & tortoisehg-nautilus, Nautilus continued to work.

So, I don't know what originally caused my problem, nor do I understand why an uninstall/reinstall cycle should have fixed it.
