In a DispVM, when you run xterm (which does work/open), then type "time nautilus; echo returned", it works, that is, it opens the 'Files' window and in xterm you see that the command 'time nautilus' hasn't returned(until 11 seconds AFTER you close the nautilus window - which almost makes sense, but why the delay? that's one question)! which means nautilus doesn't seem to run as a background process(like 'gnome-terminal' does), which means that when you straight choose the 'Files' application in the fedora 28 disposable vm menu, it should open the window, and yet it doesn't: it starts a dispVM then halts, without opening any windows (just like it does when you try 'gnome-terminal'(shown as 'Terminal' in the app list) - ok, it's almost the same, at least with 'gnome-terminal' you do get to see its window appear for like 1 second before it auto closes (and all this I understand, it's explained in that quoted section). So the following doesn't seem to apply to nautilus, then is something else going on ? > Note that currently only applications whose main process keeps running > until you close the application (i.e. do not start a background process > instead) will work.
