Bug Description

1. Upgrade nautilus from 3.14 to 3.18 (e.g. dist-upgrade from wily to xenial)
2. Without restarting your session, try to open a directory from the launcher or dash (maybe also the desktop would work)

Nothing opens.

In ~/.cache/upstart/unity7.log there is

  GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NotSupported: Application does not handle command line arguments

and manually restarting nautilus (pkill -f nautilus ; nautilus -n &) resolves the problem. nautilus -q doesn't work with the same error.
