Configuration server couldn't be contacted

[Dave Lawrence <dgl integrinautics com>]

Hi,

I'm running nautilus 1.0.6 and it will no longer run... it prints a
bunch of
error messages and core dumps.

Here are the messages:

Eel-WARNING **: GConf error:
  Configuration server couldn't be contacted:
 Adding client to server's list failed, CORBA error:
IDL:omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0
(repeats dozens or hundreds of times)

Eel-WARNING **: GConf error:
  Failed to launch configuration server: Failed to create pipe for
communicating with child process (Too many open files)
(repeats dozens of times)

GnomeVFS-pthread-ERROR **: file gnome-vfs-job.c: line 598
(gnome_vfs_job_set): assertion failed:
(gnome_vfs_context_get_cancellation (op->context) != NULL)
aborting...
Abort (core dumped)

Here's the debugger info from the core:

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks...
