Bug Description
I initially spotted the issue when opening a downloaded source tarball from chromium-browser, which uses xdg-open under the covers to open downloaded files.
Steps to reproduce:
1) wget https:/
2) xdg-open linux-4.11.3.tar.xz
Expected result: the tarball is mounted in nautilus and a nautilus window is open to display the contents of the tarball
Actual result: the tarball is mounted in nautilus, but no window is shown, thus leaving the user thinking that nothing happened
