Issue/Bug Description:

Pressing Ctrl+N on desktop causes Files/Nautilus error.

Steps to reproduce (if you know):

1. On Desktop, with no app selected (e.g., right after restart), press Ctrl+N

Expected behavior:

Files should start up at a default location (ideally your home directory)

Actual behavior:

Error:

This location could not be displayed. Sorry, could not display all the contents of "x-nautilus-desktop:///": The specified location is not supported.

Same here!

I believe this is functionality set by Nautilus upstream (with better intentions of what happens when attempting to open a new window from the desktop).

Need to investigate where these shortcuts are being set to determine why this is happening.
