> Is this reproducible?

Yes it is.

> If so, what specific steps should we take to recreate this bug?

1. Take an application. Any application will do. Compile a simple "Hello 
World"- example if you don't have any.
2. Do something to make the application not to run. Such as remove its 
execution permissions or remove a package it depend on.
3. Double click the application on Nautilus in order to run it -> No error 
message is given!
4 Try to run the same application from the Terminal and a proper error message 
is given.

To fix this bug simply make Nautilus show error messages like the
Terminal does.
