Bug Description

My OS: Ubuntu 14.10

When I try to start nautilus as root from the bash, I get following output:

(nautilus:xxxx): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to register client: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.SessionManager was not provided by any .service files

(nautilus:xxxx): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid cast from 'GtkMessageDialog' to 'NautilusWindow'
**
ERROR:nautilus-window.c:2116:nautilus_window_get_slots: assertion failed: (NAUTILUS_IS_WINDOW (window))
Aborted (core dumped)

where xxxx is a number (I think of the process)
