Apparently this is the right fix, since nautilus is not actually a
“required component”: a number of users don’t use it to render the
desktop and as such don’t need any nautilus process.

I’m uploading a change that makes nautilus an autostart application,
like e.g. vino-server, which only starts when show_desktop is true,
instead of a required component which is restarted as soon as it is
missing. You should now be able to see the nautilus process start and
stop when you simply click on show_desktop, which definitely looks like
the correct behavior.

There doesn’t seem to be any bad interactions with session management
now that auto-respawn is disabled. The only drawback is that when
nautilus crashes or is killed by hand, you also have to restart it by
hand. In all cases, I’d appreciate if you could tell me whether that
works for your setups, which all seem a bit specific, before I forward
these important changes to upstream.

Thanks,
