Hi,

Debian unstable now ships nautilus 3.30, here are some brief
instructions to use nemo to manage desktop icons under gnome-flashback:

$ sudo apt-get --no-install-recommends install nemo
$ cat << EOF > ~/.config/autostart/nemo-desktop.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=nemo-desktop
Name=nemo-desktop
EOF

Taken from
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nemo/+bug/1742193/comments/5

Ciao,
   Antonio
