Thanks for your comments Manzano. My .local/share/applications has 233 *.desktop files. Perhaps that is the difference. It must be quite a job for nautilus to show and update them all.
It seems somebody else thought of the same name. I have written XSu myself. It is a bash shell using 'Xdialog' and 'expect' packages. I have used if for quite a long time (way before Gutsy and nautilus' craziness) without any problems. I encourage any other reader to try to reproduce the fault in the way I have. The number of *.desktop files to show may be relevant: You can copy, several times, the files you have until you have quite a bunch. Note: Don't mess your $HOME/.local directory make a copy somewhere else.
