.xsession-errors shows the following warning:

Window manager warning: Log level 16: Attempting to read the recently used resources file at `/home/marcelo/.local/share/recently-used.xbel', but the parser failed: Failed to open file '/home/marcelo/.local/share/recently-used.xbel': Permission denied.

the file is owned by root, and all the other files recently-used.xbel.XXXX are owned by the user

I can confirmed this...
Apparently this occurs when nemo or other program was open as root.
Where USER is your account...

Solution will be:
1- Open a terminal:
2- Execute in terminal: nemo -q
3- Execute in terminal: cd "/home/USER/.local/share/"
4- Execute in terminal: rm -rf "recently-used.xbel"
5- Open Nemo from the .desktop icon

Also others important files and folders may be written with root permission(with nemo gedit and others), like:
/home/USER/.gvfs
/home/USER/.cache/dconf
/home/USER/.cache/thumbnails
/home/USER/.config/enchant
/home/USER/.config/gedit

Possible this occurs with more files and folders... And is possible that this problem could be the cause of a problem in the automount Volumes option...

But this report will be better on the nemo dev page: https://github.com/linuxmint/nemo
