Launcher - mounted volumes open new instances on every click. This is incosistent with default behavior and confusing to the user.

What should happen:

mounted volumes (internal or external; HDD, pendrive, camera, phones, etc.), should follow the same behavior as every other item in the launcher and not open new instances every time you click. Instead bring forward the already opened window. This will make it consistent and less confusing.

for opening new instances, the default behavior should also be adopted: middle-click and right-click quicklist entry.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

I can confirm that when using the package unity on Ubuntu 11.10 using the steps provided by manny that I can reproduce the bug. Therefore I have set this bug to confirmed.
