Nautilus crashing when running gksu nautilus [duplicate]

Possible Duplicate:
Nautilus on Ubuntu 11.10 keeps crashing

When I run gksu nautilus from the terminal, after entering my password, nautilus opens to the root folder as usual, but then crashes when I try to navigate within the file system and I get this error in terminal:

(nautilus:7160): DEBUG: Syncdaemon not running, waiting for it to start in NameOwnerChanged

Any Ideas? I am running a fresh install of Ubuntu 11.10 Oeniric Ocelot.

I also receive this error:

(nautilus:7947): GConf-CRITICAL **: gconf_client_get: assertion `GCONF_IS_CLIENT (client)' failed

11.10

    If Nautilus crashes, chances are this is because of

    1) nautilus-open-terminal package, so remove it:

    sudo apt-get remove nautilus-open-terminal

    2) You can try to remove ubuntuone-client-gnome and keep nautilus-open-terminal 

    sudo apt-get remove ubuntuone-client-gnome

    It is a way to speed up nautilus too if you don't need it.

    Eventualy try also : 

    gconftool-2 --type bool --set '/apps/ubuntuone/nautilus/show-location' false
