Yes it is.

1. Take an application. Any application will do. Compile a simple "Hello World"- example if you don't have any.
2. Do something to make the application not to run. Such as remove its execution permissions or remove a package it depend on.
3. Double click the application on Nautilus in order to run it -> No error message is given!
4 Try to run the same application from the Terminal and a proper error message is given.

To fix this bug simply make Nautilus show error messages like the Terminal does.
