For those of us who can't do that atm, what does it do?

I am guessing he is referring to this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/8147...

Yup, it's also (impossible?) extremely hard to close without login/logout. IIRC, a `killall nautilus` wasn't even sufficient.

A workaround is to use gnome-tweak to have nautilus not manage the desktop. I highly recommend it. As much as I don't like nautlius, I feel that it drawing the desktop is flat out archaic.
