This is *not* expected behaviour. The "custom" option provides a text box which
seems to allow entering arbitrary commands to use as a file manager - the bug
is that some commands don't work. What seems to happen is that the "nautilus"
command is successfully linked to a hidden application, but then without
warning filtered out.

I suppose a fix to this would be to either:
- Don't filter applications after they have been selected. This will allow you
to use a hidden application by typing its name, and the name being linked to
the hidden application.
- Don't recognize applications where OnlyShowIn is in effect. This will allow
the user to add a new "nautilus" entry, independent of the existing entry. I
would prefer the former option though, as some information about the
application will be lost here.
