Hello Johan Kröckel! I'm pretty confident the reason nautilus "doesn't start" when handling the desktop is because it's already running.
As your videos demonstrates the dash tries to get you back to the instance you're already running (on another workspace?) rather then start yet another process. In the case you're running nautilus to handle your desktop you get brough back to it when you try to start nautilus again (as a file browser). Basically, nautilus handling the desktop was not designed for GNOME 3.x. You're running an unsupported setup so you get to keep both pieces (and if you manage to glue them back together, feel free to share a patch). What you probably want to accomplish is to split the "manage desktop" part out of nautilus to make it two separate programs.
