 This will be the case with the next package of Nautilus.

 Well, I think the discussion in the Debian BTS and upstream made it
 clear that:
 - it's not fully nautilus role to decide to manage the desktop or not
   (it seems gnome-settings-daemon does this),
 - nautilus already implements way of overriding its behavior (with
   --no-desktop and a gconf key),
 - nautilus is integrated in GNOME and complies to the GNOME HIG in
   general, and hence focus on integration through the GNOME desktop,
   not specially with other window managers than GNOME-compliant ones,
   or with other environments such as KDE for example.

 My personal conclusion is that this won't fix more upstream.

   Regards,
