Selecting "Show Dropbox folder" from indicator menu crashes nautilus desktop management

[Rüdiger Kupper]

Selecting "Show Dropbox folder" from the indicator menu reliably crashes nautilus. To be exact, it opens up the correct window, but at the same time all desktop icons disappear. I.e., nautilus stops managing the desktop.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This is still happening on ubuntu 16.04 (gtk 3.20)

The nautilus isn't crashing but hiding icons.
Probably nautilus is being executed with: "nautilus --no-desktop"
