** Description changed: I've been using both Ubuntu and dropbox for several years. With Ubuntu 15.04 there is a new problem that my desktop icons disappear when I click on the dropbox icon in the status bar and choose Open Dropbox Folder. Then the desktop icons will disappear - but will remain visible in Files -> Desktop. The only way I know to get the desktop icons back is to log out and then log back in again. The bug is 100% reproducible, and it never appeared before 15.04. I also have Copy on my status bar. Clicking on Copy -> Open Copy Folder has no problems. Likewise I can use File with a right click and use Open a New Window and that too is OK. Only dropbox has a problem and only since 15.04 If I can help in any way, please contact me ilan.tal - at - gmail.com + + [Impact] + DE-agnostic programs that invoke nautilus using "nautilus --no-desktop" will make the nautilus-rendered desktop vanish. Dropbox is one such case. + + [Test Case] + 1. Launch nautilus, and make sure it is currently rendering the desktop. + 2. Run "nautilus --no-desktop /" + 3. See if the desktop vanishes. + + [Regression Potential] + The patch is relatively trivial, only affecting the --no-desktop codepath. As a worst case, --no-desktop would not function correctly in cases where nautilus is not already running (--no-desktop when nautilus is not already running means nautilus should not render the desktop at all). Just to make sure, this additional test case should be used: + + 1. Kill nautilus, and make sure it doesn't get relaunched. + 2. Check to see what the desktop looks like (shouldn't be rendered by nautilus, at least) + 3. Launch "nautilus --no-desktop /" + 4. Make sure that nautilus really doesn't render a desktop.
