Research direction

Start by reviewing the attached crash.tar.gz and the console output from running nemo --quit && nemo. Try to reproduce the occasional immediate close on Linux Mint 22.3 with Nemo 6.6.3. Done means identifying a reproducible cause and documenting or fixing it; the report currently provides no reliable reproduction steps.
