Reopening this bug.
This option is missing from the nautilus manpage, as are those listed
below excepting "--help" and "--version".
I still feel that the application should properly sense its environment,
and not open a desktop outside of a GNOME context. Relying on user
input is a crutch.
I still feel that this behavior should be specifiable from within
Nautilus.
