Similar happens with other GNOME-2 applications.  It's not that Nautilus is 
some uniquely-vulnerable "punching bag."

Strong language gets results.  "The  reloader is completely broken  in
242" will open  a lot more eyes than  "The reloader doesn't load files
with intermixed spaces, asterisks,  and <'s in   their names that  are
bigger than 64K".  You can always say the latter in a later paragraph.
