I get this issue too, as I described here : http://askubuntu.com/questions/392071/hourglass-pointer-launching-a-nemo-quicklist-sub-item-from-unitylauncher :
"Running raring 13.04 I meet a strange behaviour (non-blocking). When I launch a home subfolder (e.g. Music) from the nemo launcher, the windows opens fine but I always get the hourglass pointer for 15s, after which the pointer becomes normal, whether I keep the window opened or I close it before the 15s laptime.
I don't use cinnamon (not installed), just nemo v1.7.2 from synaptic/software center.
When I run nemo Music from a terminal or from the Alt+F2 prompt, I don't get this hourglass. I don't get it neither when I just left-click the nemo parent icon. I don't get this behaviour neither with LibreOffice icon sub-items.
I tried to specify the full path in ~/.local/share/applications/nemo.desktop (Exec=nemo /home/me/Music) with no change in behaviour."
Since this post in askubuntu, I also tried to add StartupNotify=false in each [Desktop Action ActionN] sub-section but this changes nothing.
