We'll see when Miguel patch lands but I think my patch might still be
interresting when nautilus
is first started and when gmc has never been started..

Great..

Take this scenario :
-I'm running GNOME, using Nautilus to draw desktop. No problem.
-Later, I switch to KDE but I still want to run nautilus as simple file
manager
and I don't want it to draw desktop only when started from KDE menu => I
need
a command line option to disable only for next session.
