Sounds like Nautilus and/or Gnome is messed up. There could be endless
reasons for that. You could spend a week trying one thing or another,
randomly, to no effect.
It's probably easier just to nuke everything from high orbit, first, and
then recover. Rename your home directory, then create a new, empty,
directory in its place, taking care to use the same userid and groupid.
Once you log in you should then get the default, initial, Gnome desktop.
Then, you can manually move stuff over from your old home directory into
your new one, one at a time.
