Title:
Can only launch Nautilus once in GNOME shell
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Press super, type "nautilus", type enter
-> nautilus can be only launched once this way, same with any new pinned dash
icon.
This is due to having both nautilus.desktop and org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop,
despite this one having OnlyShowIn=, GNOME Shell converts nautilus.desktop to
org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop, but still think that nautilus.desktop is running
(as nautilus desktop background drawing icons instance), hence no dash icon
unicity between the already present one and this new one.
The older dash icon desktop file was converted as well, but it doesn't match
as in memory it's org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop.
We end up as well with 2 desktop files with identical names in the dash
preference settings.
The easy fix without impacting Unity is to:
1. append to "OnlyShowIn=Unity;" in org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop, "GNOME"
2. add "NotShowIn=GNOME;" in nautilus.desktop
-> that way, only org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop will be matched by GNOME. There
is no transition issue as Unity is matching nautilus to
org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop already, so no transition needed.
