Public bug reported: On my desktop PC with Xubuntu installed Nautilus fails to open files properly. Double clicking a file or right click + "Open With *preferred application name*" does nothing but bring the animated "wait" icon beside the cursor for a rather long time with nothing happening after it disappears. Right click + "Open With Other Application" however works with whatever program fit to handle the file type in question. Interestingly, this behavior occurs only when Nautilus is set as the preferred file manager. If I use Nautilus while Thunar is set as the preferred file manager, it works properly.
