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

[bwat47]

This is something that should really be addressed before release. With
the desktop icons disabled it triggers some huge compiz/unity bugs as
described above (compiz seems to be designed to expect nautilus to be
drawing a desktop window).

Simply minimizing a window in the live session totally freezes compiz,
and the dash doesn't respons to the keyboard at all. as soon as I do:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons true in
the live session, everything behaves properly. This would be a terrible,
terrible thing to leave in a final release. This issue should
reproducable for anyone, i've seen it on every machine I've tried the
raring live session on. I can still reproduce it with today's iso.

  This has been happening much more often than not in recent weeks. Come release that image should have the Desktop enabled in a live session or you're providing a sub-optimal "Try Ubuntu" experience in 13.04
