 Thanks Jurg, that worked plus a "make install" so nautilus could find ui
xml files in $prefix/share, here $prefix being the default /usr/local. In
previous occasions I've reused the working dir of an emerge nautilus
operation as build tree and this way I never had to stop the session
nautilus instance, that's why this time I got stuck.
