indeed there seem to be a pb in dbus signatures. unfortunatly I can't
test at home (debian unstable) because of that:

$ nautilus-sendto gajim.py
Segmentation fault

but if you can you can try to change the out_signatures to a{sv} in
src/remote_controle.py ?

Maybe the bug is in nautilus-sendto code that handles badly what
list_contacts returns ...
