Package: nautilus
Version: 3.14.0-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
After upgrading to Gnome Shell 3.14, Nautilus no longer opens a window when
using the "Files" desktop link when there are custom folders defined in the
user-dirs.dirs file located at "~/.config/user-dirs.dirs" (without quotes).

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
Nautilus will open a window when using a direct folder link - such as showing
the user's Home folder on the desktop and double clicking the icon to open.
Also, "Files" opens normally when there is not a custom folder setup configured
in user-dirs.dirs.

   * What was the outcome of this action?
"Files" desktop link does not open a window, but identifies itself as running.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
Upon click from Gnome Shell dashboard, "Files" desktop link should open a new
window to the user's Home folder when a custom user-dirs.dirs is in use.
