Hi. I have the XFCE desktop environment with nemo file manager except less advanced thunar. This bundle is worth a hundred of my clients and they have become accustomed to Nautilus/Nemo. Thunar is not terribly useful, gnome bulky. And this bunch always worked perfectly! But after upgrade it from version 1.1.2 to 1.8.3 there came a big problem with strange desktop that runs on top of XFCE desktop. I don't know why developers have tied file manager with the desktop, it's two different things. Nautilus was a great file manager that supports integration with the archiver and easy to navigate. They killed him. Luckily there was Nemo who in our distribution does not support archives (fileroller extension). Now even worsened, tied it with a desktop. It feels like our world penetrated pests from microsoft or other unfriendly and deliberately spoil everything. Cry from the heart. Guys, please help save Nemo from enemies. Can anyone come up with a patch to Nemo began working with archives and no longer run this horrible desktop? Please help... Reproducible: Always
Confirmed, we need to fix nemo so it manages the desktop only in cinnamon sessions. (It's even worse for gnome3 purists - in gnome3, cinnamon tries to autostart at login and manage the desktop!) For now, you can run (from your user account and while logged into xfce) $ gsettings set org.nemo.desktop show-desktop-icons false

Thanks for confirmation. Yes, even if you start nemo with the --no-desktop option, all the same. At next login (session restore) to XFCE, nemo runs their own desktop over.
(In reply to Alexandre Rostovtsev from comment #1) How about fileroller extension support (with natspec support)? It is real? https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=467994

Can you report this problem to upstream?
(In reply to Pacho Ramos from comment #6) > Can you report this problem to upstream? Did you report it?
Me? I didn't. How can I do it?
Would be to: https://github.com/linuxmint/nemo/issues/new The idea is that you report it because you have the setup showing the problem and will likely reply better and faster to upstream questions
(In reply to Pacho Ramos from comment #9) I just did it.
Thanks! (I have just subscribed to that one too)
I got the reply: https://github.com/linuxmint/nemo/issues/497#issuecomment-31195463
Well, maybe we could change the session file to need nemo and drop the autostart since we already have nemo in RDEPEND :/

I am unsure how this commit: https://github.com/linuxmint/nemo/commit/081449869f41277482d588a437f22c01184d11c5 solves things :/, I guess I am missing something :S
nemo-2.2.1 doesn't suffer this
