Changing the realm of this bug: it is not a nautilus bug, but a general design bug which affects every desktop i use (unity, gnome, lxde, gnome fallback).

We do not have a startup notification mechanism when applications are launched indirectly (from file browsers, unity lenses, from other app: see the updated description of the bug).

Specially on low to middle range computers, this is really annoying, as most apps last several seconds to start, which is enough time for a user to wonder if the app would eventually start, and repeat her action again and again until three or more windows open :)
