Bug#770702: nautilus: New windows do not open

[Michael V. DePalatis]

Package: nautilus
Version: 3.14.0-1
Severity: normal

Using Gnome, sometimes Nautilus windows fail to open. If Nautilus is in the
"favorites" area, when first trying to open a new window, the white gradient
appears below it indicate that it is running, but no windows appear. Right
clicking on the Nautilus icon in the favorites area and selecting "New Window"
also fails to open a new window for browsing files.

The issue can be worked around by quitting nautilus with `nautilus -q` and then
restarting it.
