   And to pinnerite: You should try it in shell.   
   'nemo -n ~/Downloads'  or 'nemo ~/Downloads'   
   What happens?   
      
   Here nemo -n does nothing.  I gave it no folder to start in.   
   but nemo -n ~/Downloads does open a window and Downloads.   
   My guess it's a safeguard to not open windows unless a starting folder is   
   supplied.   
   Normally nemo along just opens in $HOME
