I recently had problems with my DNS server. Of course, Nautilus News
couldn't update the information from my selected sites.

I've noticed that if I kept a Nautilus window opened for a while, the
News component would crash.

So, I think what's happening is that the News component can't fetch the
information from the site and instead of opening an error dialog it's
crashing.

This may not be the same problem you're having, but it's bug. I'll
report it in a few days.

PS1: it crashed a few times, not only once.
PS2: I've fixed the server already, hasn't crashed since.
