Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue by opening Nemo from a terminal and opening a context menu, then inspect the nemo_menu_provider_get_background_items assertion shown in the report. Done means identifying and fixing the cause of the critical error without changing the existing context-menu functionality, and confirming that the terminal stays free of this message.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The functionality actually works as it's supposed to, but when opening nemo using a terminal, the following critical error keeps showing every time the context menu is opened:

** (nemo:14452): CRITICAL **: nemo_menu_provider_get_background_items: assertion `NEMO_IS_MENU_PROVIDER (provider)' failed

Just thought I'd let you know. Thanks for this great tool.
