Description David 2011-05-06 20:43:19 UTC 
The workaround is to start Nautilus in the terminal with the command nautilus -q - it can then be launched from the shortcut in the normal way
Comment 1 Bastien Nocera 2011-05-07 17:15:24 UTC 
Wrong component.
Comment 2 Ionut Biru 2011-05-09 07:51:11 UTC 
i guess you configured from gnome-tweak-tool nautilus to manage your desktop to have the icons?

this is a side effect because of that since nautilus is running and gnome-shell allows only one instance to be launched

There is a third way too...

on Ubuntu the gnome3 session is also configured to autostart nauilus (even if it does not draw the desktop). I'm not sure what arguments nautilus is started with in this case, or who would win if it was previously configured to autostart by gnome-tweak-tool.

Bit of a mess really.

Is developers will fix it ?
Comment 5 André Klapper 2011-06-23 17:04:45 UTC 
So this is about 3.0?

David, Lionel: See questions in comment 2.

Duplicate of bug 649063?
Comment 7 Cosimo Cecchi 2011-06-27 20:37:35 UTC 
I guess so, yes.
