I installed nautilus to replace pcmanfm, but how do I enable it as desktop manager? I cannot find any such option there.

It is a key in dconf I think. From terminal launch dconf-editor. Then in org.gnome.desktop.background check show desktop icons.
I cannot test it as I don't have any gnome install under the hand but I think my memory is good...

seal is right, though, that only works out if your desktop environment / setup parses /etc/xdg/autostart
$ cat /etc/xdg/autostart/nautilus-autostart.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Files
Exec=nautilus -n
AutostartCondition=GSettings org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons
Otherwise use the auto launch mechanism specific to your setup to start nautilus -n.
$ nautilus --help | grep \\--no-default-window
-n, --no-default-window Only create windows for explicitly specified URIs.
