Is nautilus waiting for this server to become available?  Isn't there a
timeout specified somewhere?

The timeout is normally in the kernel. Design bug in NFS; if you touch
an NFS filesystem that's hung, then your app hangs, and there is no
way to avoid it. (Other than using threads.)

Nautilus probably just tries to stat() all volumes in mtab or
something.

Can nautilus be adapted to use threads to avoid blockings?
