Public bug reported:

When hitting the delete key on an item on the desktop, a beep is
emitted, and nothing happens. When launching a separate Nautilus window,
navigating to ~/Desktop, and trying to delete items from this folder,
the Nautilus window freezes. At this point, no new Nautilus windows can
be launched, and the window eventually emits a ""Files" is not
responding" dialog.

(When trying to reproduce this bug for this report, the whole screen
froze and I had to escape with Alt+F2 - not sure if this is a separate
bug).

When launching nautilus from a terminal, and repeating the procedure
above, no error message or other output is printed to the terminal.

The file in question was steam.desktop, and I then deleted it using rm
without any issue.
