I think Nautilus is a red herring.  The real problem is most likely
gnome-settings-daemon and its tendency to merge xrdb data into your
current environment.  You could hack the xrdb support out of g-s-d, or
simply override the default Emacs resource settings with your own
~/.gnome2/xrdb/Emacs.ad file.
