Public bug reported:

Since being standardised XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP supports specifying
multiple Desktop Names seperated by a colon, however many of the patches
in Ubuntu pre-date this change so don't correctly support the current
format in some cases.

These days XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP will look something like
Unity
GNOME (gnome-shell)
GNOME-Classic:GNOME (gnome-shell classic mode)
GNOME-Flashback:Unity (Flashback sesison, although upstream and debian use 
GNOME-Flashack:GNOME for this)

Many of the patches only check for == "Unity" or == "GNOME", so
misbehave for the latter cases in the list above.

I suspect this will be more widespread than just nautilus, but fixing
that would be a good start. Since most of this code is still Ubuntu
specific (upstream mainly use XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP for onlyShowIn etc),
probably taking the last value in the string would get the desired
result of Unity vs GNOME3 behaviour
