It took me a very long time to figure out what was going on, but it turns out it was this bug: [Fedora bug]: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=674321 [Ubuntu bug]: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/exo/+bug/956255 I had to remove the following entries from ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list , in the "[Added Associations]" section: x-scheme-handler/http=exo-web-browser.desktop x-scheme-handler/https=exo-web-browser.desktop x-scheme-handler/file=exo-file-manager.desktop x-scheme-handler/trash=exo-file-manager.desktop x-scheme-handler/mailto=exo-mail-reader.desktop; According to the Ubuntu bug, the core problem was fixed in this commit: https://git.xfce.org/xfce/exo/commit/?id=b74caf97642ae2bf00a7754a5fb193f695b6f3d4 However, one commenter on the Fedora bug pointed out that "exo-0.6.2-3.fc16 is still taking the mime types from the X-XFCE- MimeType key and adding them to the [Added Associations] section of ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list". This was still happening on a later version of exo (I don't know which version exactly, but maybe 0.10.x, since Nautilus broke for me around Fedora 27). There are a few things that need to be fixed: (1) exo needs to stop inserting these entries in mimeapps.list , if it is still inserting them (2) exo needs to remove these entries from mimeapps.list, if they are found there, so that upgrading exo is enough to fix a broken system. (3) One commenter on the Fedora bug pointed out that "I only noticed because some part of KDE was complaining about some lists in mimeapps.list not ending with ';' " -- exo needs to add a trailing ';' if it does need to add (corrected) lines to mimeapps.list.

It opens only directories, .desktop files and executable files. Trying to open a file, be using Enter or with double mouse click, as a text file or a video makes Nautilus window blink for a instant and nothing happens. To be able to open the files, it's needed to choose to open with another application and then choose the application. Once Nautilus is unset as the default file manager (Thunar is chosen, for example), it starts to work fine again, opening files properly. Nautilus' Debian Sid version do not have this problem.
