Bug description:
  Since being standardised XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP supports specifying
  multiple Desktop Names seperated by a colon, however many of the
  patches in Ubuntu pre-date this change so don't correctly support the
  current format in some cases.

  These days XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP will look something like
  Unity
  GNOME (gnome-shell)
  GNOME-Classic:GNOME (gnome-shell classic mode)
  GNOME-Flashback:Unity (Flashback sesison, although upstream and debian use GNOME-Flashack:GNOME for this)

  Many of the patches only check for == "Unity" or == "GNOME", so
  misbehave for the latter cases in the list above.

  I suspect this will be more widespread than just nautilus, but fixing
  that would be a good start. Since most of this code is still Ubuntu
  specific (upstream mainly use XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP for onlyShowIn etc),
  probably taking the last value in the string would get the desired
  result of Unity vs GNOME3 behaviour
