Title:
  Nautilus fails to launch when added to Startup Applications

Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I would like Nautilus to open after I login, so I added the command
  "nautilus " in my "Startup applications".

  However no Nautilus window appears,  while the exact same command works well from a terminal.
  I also tried "nautilus --browser", same story.

  WORKAROUND: We need to add a dot (or any other path): "nautilus
  --browser ."

  It's true that according to the manual (man nautilus), there is a URI
  parameter which seems to be mandatory. However, why should it be
  mandatory? And if it is, why does the command "nautilus" (without URI)
  work from the terminal? I think this is inconsistent, and it could
  easily be fixed.

  Ubuntu 11.04
  Nautilus 1.2:32.2.1
