[Bug 1170483] Re: The file manager (nautilus) handling the Desktop is not being enabled in live session

[bwat47]

The problem is when nautilus is not handling the desktop compiz totally
freaks out and behaves poorly. Things like minimizing windows totally
freezes until I hit the "alt" key which then "unfreezes" the animation.
Unity/Compiz just acts buggy/bizarre in the live session. However if I
open dconf-editor in the live session and check the box to have nautilus
handle the desktop all of the problems go away and compiz/unity acts as
expected. Compiz seems to expect this option to be enabled and barely
works without it.

This is why it should be enabled for the live session. I have very
common hardware (intel graphics) and saw these issues on some pretty
recent daily ISO's. (think the last I tried was april 17th or 18th?).
This should be easy to reproduce, boot into a live session with this
option disabled and try to do some common window management like
minimizing windows. These kinds of glitches in a live session will leave
a bad impression.
