Public bug reported:
I experience already with 18.04, and now with the newly installed 18.10,
that at some point all folders on the Desktop couldn't be opened
anymore. One needs either open it from a regular nautilus window, or
needs to kill & relaunch nautilus-desktop. I don't understand why but I
finally found the trigger for the bug: It only occurs when nautilus is
launched during boot by `Startup Applications` (so you have a open file
manager window waiting already for you when you boot). If I remove the
nautilus boot-launch from `Startup Applications` the folders can be
opened again directly form the Desktop.
Please find the `/var/syslog` of Ub18.04 and Ub18.10 which I got right after
trying to open a folder:
