Public bug reported:
If Nautilus is set as the preferred file manager with exo-preferred-
applications, it no longer opens files. 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.
