Bug#784784: nautilus: Doesn't open any windows when launched by dbus activation

Package: nautilus
Version: 3.14.1-2
Severity: normal

If I try to open a nautilus window with xdg-open / gvfs-open, most of the
time it doesn't work.  From what I've been able to figure out, the essential
cause of this is Nautilus not opening any windows when launched via DBus. 
It launches, but doesn't open a window.  If I run gvfs-open again before the
unused process times out and exits, then it does open a window.

If I disable DBusActivatable in its desktop file, then it opens the window
on the first attempt properly.
