Bug Description

Nautilus does not show up in the alt+tab "menu" when started, I tried with super+1 to change to nautilus but nothing happens, I can't even click on the icon to get the window back.

I must right click on the icon and choose something like "Documents" to get up a nautilus-window again or wait until the icon stops fading in red, which take around 10-30 seconds.

Thank you for your bug report. Is nautilus in your default launcher configuration?

What do you mean by "default launcher configuration"? It's the default file manager in Unity - Ubuntu 16.04. It worked fine in 15.10 but not after upgrading to 16.04.

The icons you have on the launcher after login. Wondering if that's the same as bug #1578792

Hmm, yeah, It could maybe be a duplicate of that bug.

I have done some testing now, when I start nautilus from the dash or from the icon that's "locked to launcher" I won't find Nautilus (files) in the alt+tab list.

But if I start nautilus from the terminal it work's fine...

(Sorry for the bad quality, another bug, but in Shutter...=))

Well, anyway, If I now "Lock to launcher" on that nautilus icon and start it from the locked one or from the "dash menu", it will start nautilus but I won't be in the alt+tab list.

When it works as it should the command is like this,

purity@Noiden:~$ ps aux |grep -i naut
purity 6476 0.5 0.3 1606252 80624 pts/2 Sl+ 11:16 0:03 nautilus

When I start it from the "locked to launcher" icon and it's not listed in the alt+tab the command looks like this,

purity@Noiden:~$ ps aux |grep -i naut
purity 6894 16.6 0.3 1540552 74552 ? Sl 11:26 0:00 /usr/bin/nautilus --gapplication-service
