Hm, weird. There was no message this time when the desktop disappeared. I have included the output of the nautilus startup.
** Description changed: When calling nautilus with the --no-desktop flag in Ubuntu 16.10 while it is already running, the existing desktop stops responding. All icons disappear, and the desktop doesn't react to mouse input. - nautilus throws the following error: + nautilus may or may not throw the following error: (nautilus:3723): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_dbus_interface_skeleton_unexport: assertion 'interface_->priv->connections != NULL' failed (nautilus:3723): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_dbus_interface_skeleton_unexport: assertion 'interface_->priv->connections != NULL' failed This is relevant since e.g. the Dropbox indicator calls nautilus this way, resulting in the desktop crashing. ** Attachment added: "Output during nautilus startup" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus-dropbox/+bug/1633826/+attachment/4771019/+files/nautilus_startup_output.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1633826 Title: nautilus desktop crashes when called with --no-desktop Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in nautilus-dropbox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When calling nautilus with the --no-desktop flag in Ubuntu 16.10 while it is already running, the existing desktop stops responding.
