** Description changed:

  Ubuntu 16.10 x64 with Nautilus 3.20.3
  
  * Open a terminal
  * Install gcc: sudo apt install build-essential
  * Build an executable: printf "int main() { return 1; }" | gcc -x c -
  * Open a Nautilus window on the current directory: nautilus .
  * Double-click on the generated executable: a.out
  
  Expected result: Nautilus starts the executable
  Actual result: Nautilus displays an error message:
  
     Could not display "a.out".
-    There is no application installed for executable files.

     Do you want to search for an application to open this file?
