Bug Description

Nautilus in quantal has no global menu. All the main functions are under the gear on the right. We've all been getting used to going left for closing windows, the launcher and global menus.

This is a huge usability issue.

the bug importance setting, you raised the bug yes but the title was not appropriate, describe the issue, overstating the issue importance in the bug title is of no use

Marking as fixed for Quantal since Nautilus has been reverted back to 3.4 for 12.10. Opening the R task since we'll be using Nautilus 3.6 or 3.8 next cycle.
