nautilus won't autostart

[monochromec]

Binary package hint: nautilus

Nautilus fails to autostart.

Tried / checked so far:

- .config/autostart/* belong to autostarting user and have sufficient privileges,
- Tried System->Preferences->Startup Apps launcher with and w/o "--browser=/home/user" and "--no-desktop" options,
- Wrapped the Exec entry in the nautilus.desktop gnome file into a shell wrapper and compared the environment settings with no apparent differences.

Any more info needed, let me know.

Hello monochromec,

Thank you for taking the time to submit a report. I can confirm this issue from your description. I found that if I added "nautilus Desktop" to my startup applications, Nautilus will load my Desktop folder. But "nautilus" does not load at all. It doesn't seem that this issue has been reported upstream so I went ahead and did that. Thank you again.

I just wanted to add that I believe Nautilus is being loaded but a browser window is not displayed. I came to this conclusion because Nautilus has very high memory usage (~150mb) without any browser being open. This is unusual for my setup and only happened after I reproduced this bug.
