Hi,

I updated from c8112f3bd95269ce4aca12dedbfe61bb6b37acae to
0dec41f329c37a4293a2a8326f1fe7d9318ec455 and now Nautilus crashes
with:

(org.gnome.Nautilus:3664): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: 13:25:09.877: Two different plugins tried to register 'KgxNautilus'.

(org.gnome.Nautilus:3664): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 13:25:09.877: g_type_add_interface_dynamic: assertion 'G_TYPE_IS_INSTANTIATABLE (instance_type)' failed

(org.gnome.Nautilus:3664): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: 13:25:09.877: Two different plugins tried to register 'KgxNautilusMenuItem'.

(org.gnome.Nautilus:3664): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: 13:25:10.222: invalid cast from 'KgxNautilus' to '<invalid>'

(org.gnome.Nautilus:3664): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 13:25:10.222: g_object_get: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

The problem seems to be that NAUTILUS_EXTENSION_PATH contains the same
path twice and that it tries to load KgxNautilus from each of the paths:

$ echo $NAUTILUS_EXTENSION_PATH
/run/current-system/profile/lib/nautilus/site-extensions:/run/current-system/profile/lib/nautilus/site-extensions

Running Nautilus like this works fine:

$ NAUTILUS_EXTENSION_PATH=/run/current-system/profile/lib/nautilus/site-extensions nautilus

Best regards,

Tobi
