    Using nautilus to manage the desktop

    I'm currently trying to use nautilus for desktop managment, but I can't get it to work.

    My OS: Xubuntu 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal)

    What I did:
    - uninstalled thunar
    - installed nautilus
    - mv /usr/bin/xfdesktop /usr/bin/xfdesktop-bin
    - ln -s /usr/bin/nautilus /usr/bin/xfdesktop

    In other tutorials, regarding this replacement of thunar with nautilus, this works perfectly, but for me I end up with a black and empty desktop.
    I figure that the problem is that nautilus is behaving as if it was started with the "--no-desktop" flag, but I have no idea why it behaves like this.

    Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this?
