Bug Description

nautilus 'Desktop' window on Xmir is transparent. I can't see any wallpaper or icons.

Although if you drag within the window you can see the selection rectangle.

Although Unity8 should not be choosing Xmir at all. So this is a consequence of bug 1672931.

I did have a look at the nautilus source code but could not find any way to convince it to create zero desktop windows without specifying that on the command line. So the nautilus task remains open. I think nautilus should honour _NET_NUMBER_OF_DESKTOPS==0 or _NET_WORKAREA of empty size, but it refuses to do either.
