Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: alacarte
If you delete unused applications using alacarte (i.e., those without a
checkmark in them) nautilus will no longer automatically open your home
folders, or any folders under 'Places'. If you reboot the computer, a
completely unusable desktop will appear (ie., nothing but some
wallpaper).
To fix, simply switch to another terminal and remove the users .local
directory. After rebooting again, everything works fine with the
exception that all the users menu customizations have been lost.
I am unsure if it is necessary to remove some or all of the unused
applications, so to test please delete all unused applications under the
menu editor, even (especially?) those under 'Other'. As a guess, I would
think if you simply removed all the file manager options the problem may
re-occur. I have not tried all options as of yet.
I am using Ubuntu Jauntu.
