Bug Description
Pantheon is a desktop environment based on GTK 3 in use by the elementary OS team. Elementary OS, for what it's worth, is based on Ubuntu 12.04. Pantheon is becoming more popular and packages for it already exist in Arch and openSUSE. Unfortunately, Pantheon's file manager has had some stability issues, so I've installed Nautilus. Like many others, we were confused as to why Nautilus was not showing up in the applications menu. After some digging I found the OnlyShowIn entry in /usr/share/
That said, countless others have looked to install an alternative file manager, such as Nautilus, only to find it doesn't show up. They assume it's not supported and move on to other alternatives. If Pantheon could be added so elementary OS could pick up Nautilus that would be tremendously useful to a lot of users.
Thank you for your consideration!
