Description Artiom MOLCHANOV 2010-11-22 07:28:03 UTC 
1. After login plug in a USB key.
2. Icon created on the desktop
3. Double click this icon => nothing
4. Double click this icon => nautilus window opened.
Any successive plug out/plug in acts like expected (nautilus window opened with the first double click). To reproduce the problem I need to logout than login again.

Which exact distribution is this about?
Comment 2 Artiom MOLCHANOV 2010-11-28 16:05:58 UTC 
Archlinux
Comment 3 Sébastien Wilmet 2015-02-24 09:22:22 UTC 
I sometimes still have this bug with GNOME Classic. It can happen with the Home folder too, or I guess any icon on the desktop that should open a Nautilus window.

I have this bug with CentOS 7.0 (GNOME 3.8) and Fedora 21 (GNOME 3.14).
Comment 4 Carlos Soriano 2015-02-24 09:56:39 UTC 
Can you reproduce on master?
Comment 5 Sébastien Wilmet 2015-02-24 18:38:45 UTC 
I don't plan to install a jhbuild gnome session. Nautilus 3.14 is the latest stable version, it's enough for a bug report, no?

Have you tried to reproduce the bug? The bug is a bit hard to reproduce, but this month I had it maybe 5 times, on different computers. Maybe a reboot is needed to reproduce it, I've tested a logout/login but the bug doesn't reappear, or it's maybe not exactly the same conditions.

I can still reproduce with 3.20. It's a long-standing bug (since at least 3.8).

Starting with version 3.28, nautilus will not handle the "files on desktop background" feature. For better alternatives, read this blog post https://csorianognome.wordpress.com/2017/12/21/nautilus-desktop-plans/
