Bug Description
## Bug Reproduce Steps ##
1. Run Nautilus/Files using `gksudo nautilus` or `xhost +SI:localuser:root; sudo --set-home nautilus` (the --set-home or -H command argument is required due to bug #1373495 not fixed)
2. Try to create new document by launching the context menu by right-clicking on the blank part of content view

Thanks but running nautilus (or other desktop interface) with sudo is not recommended nor supported for security reasons
