You can actually just kill nautilus from the command line and restart. Notice even after killing it from the gui it is still running in the background.
#> ps -ef | grep nautilus
<nautilus pid>
#> kill -9 <nautilus pid>

I've had the same problem in Kubuntu! Solution: edit or remove the file /etc/xdg/autostart/nautilus-autostart.desktop If you choose to leave it, then you can edit it with KWrite or Kate or some other editor. The line you want to change is the one saying OnlyShowIn=GNOME Make sure there is nothing else but 'GNOME' after the '=' sign. After saving the file delete the backup copy.

this is rather simple to fix without messing with any other settings.
system->startup and shutdown->session management "on login" exclude "nautilus".
