missing/lost(?) item in the desktop context menu

[Peter Boy]

I just installed the x86_64 devel tree (it's my first working
installation of Core 2, because test 1 didn't install on my machines).

Previously a right mouse click onto the desktop brought up a context
menue which contained an "open new window" entry which brought up a
Nautilus window. It is gone now - unfortunately -, by intention or by
fault? Is there a chance to get it back? 

Instead there is a new entry "create document". Is there a way to fill
the submenue with specific document types and corresponding applications
(unfortunately I couldn't find it)?
