The following workaround works:

- find the pid of the currently running process of Nautilus (there is always 
one, I guess for the desktop)
- kill it. That makes the desktop disappears
- launch Nautilus again from the Launcher. This opens a new Nautilus window and 
also brings back the desktop. Now even if I close the Nautilus window, the 
desktop remains, as expected, and now everything works as expected.
