Because when NAUTILUS_DEBUG is defined then nautilus doesn't attach to 
session manager.

I can't recall it now, and I'm not in linux right now but I think hacked 
nautilus will look for those ui files in their system wide location, so 
you have to copy them there, but I'm not sure so maybe someone else 
could clarify it.


PS. I'm cc'ing nautilus-list again.
