Bug#860796: nautilus: Nautilus does not lauch it's file browser when a desktop icon is clicked (or double clicked)

[Ben Green]

Package: nautilus
Version: 3.22.3-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

This bug is present from boot accross all logins on both the systems I
currently have at 'Stretch'.

After double clicking a folder on the Gnome Desktop with desktop icons enabled,
nothing happens. This began happening after an upgrade.

Nautilus runs as a file browser absolutely fine when:

* Running it from a shell
* Right clicking on a folder icon and selecting "Open With Other Application"
then selecting "Files" in the application chooser.

I does not open when:

* Double clicking a folder on the desktop
* Right clicking a folder and selecting "Open"
