Description:
When I click on an icon and begin to drag it nautilus crashes and relaunches.
Checking dmesg I see:
nautilus[2097]: segfault at 0 ip b7369540 sp bfaf37f0 error 4 in libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0.1800.7[b7307000+8f000]

In seeing that, I found that libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0.1800.7 was in gtk2 and tried the previous package (gtk2-2.18.6-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz) and no longer have crashes.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
nautilus 2.28.4-1
gtk2 2.18.7-1

working gtk pkg is:
gtk2 2.18.6-1

This task depends upon

Actually, this looks like its related to VNC server.
The computer in question is a media server of which I only connect to via tightvnc server.
I used vino to test my theory and sure enough, no crash on drag and drop initiation when vino is the remote server with the latest gtk2.

Furthermore, I just tried recompiling tightvnc from abs and it crashed the same as using the prebuilt package from extra.
