I got the thing fixed. First I tried downgrading nautilus, which didn't 
help. Then I upgraded gnome-control-center from unstable and now 
everything works fine. This is how it was done:

* add unstable to /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb ftp://ftp.XX.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free

-replace XX with a country code of a country near you-

* update packages
$ apt-get update

* upgrade gnome-control-center from unstable
$ apt-get install gnome-control-center/unstable

* remove unstable from sources list

* update packages again
$ apt-get update

Now log out of gnome and log in again and it should work. It did for me.

Hope you are successful
