Nautilus offers no feedback for launching applications

[Chow Loong Jin]

Steps to reproduce:
Browse nautilus
Find a file you wish to open
Double click the file to open it
Observe no changes in the cursor on screen

What is expected to happen:
The cursor should change to the spinning cursor to indicate that the file is opening

affects ubuntu/nautilus

After double-clicking on a document/image/video file, there is no feedback that
the application is actually starting, until its window finally appears. In the
previous release of Ubuntu, Nautilus had changed the cursor to the busy/waiting
cursor until the application appears.

Interestingly, the busy cursor appears in the guest session, but not mine. How
strange. Is there some specific configuration in dconf or elsewhere I should
look at?
