Bugs in Ubuntu 17.04, looks weird and Nautilus crashes

by

Guys I upgraded my ubuntu from 16.04 to 17.04 and I am having this problem. My desktop icons are missing, nautilus crashes everytime, I cant open the files since the files window is closing after a few seconds and everything looks weird. I had this problem when I upgraded form 16.04 to 16.10 and now I have the same problem in 17.04. How to I rectify this problem?
Thanks in advance

Edit 1
I ran nautilus in terminal and I got the error as follows:

Answer

If you try to run Nautilus as root you will see the issue is in reading ~Home/.local/share/gvfs-metadata/home, and an issue with any theme outside the Gnome clasic. After setting permissions either from terminal or by loading another file manager such as Dolphin, to allow root to read all the files in the contained directory, you might still get the errors that:

** (nautilus:9776): WARNING **: Can not calculate _NET_NUMBER_OF_DESKTOPS

** (nautilus:9776): WARNING **: Can not calculate _NET_NUMBER_OF_DESKTOPS

** (nautilus:9776): WARNING **: Can not get _NET_WORKAREA

After deleting the .config from the ~Home directory and then running Nautilus, it will tell you to remake the directory ~Home/.config/nautilus. That should fix Nautilus. The only thing is that this breaks the ability to edit wallpapers and icons are still unavailable.
