I'm sorry, but I disagree - this *is* a bug, it involves unexpected behaviour when running an application. That's either a bug with Fluxbox, the application, or the interaction between the two.

However, if the fix is to pass extra arguments to the Nautilus command, perhaps a simple way to close this bug would be to patch the file: /etc/X11/fluxbox/fluxbox-menu, or the script which generates it? If that was done, users would never come across the bug, which is a much better experience than being pointed to a site where the solution is 'run the nautilus command manually with some arguments, create a shell script or patch Nautilus', none of which are particularly helpful to a new user.

I'm happy to submit a patch which does this, although it might take me a week or two to work through the necessary bits of Fluxbox.

(As an aside, the Chrome argument doesn't really address this problem, as I can leave Chrome in full screen mode and get back to the desktop as it was. I cannot do that by quitting Nautilus, unless I run 'killall nautilus', and even then the background image does not return to normal.)
