@Rodrigo, I don't think that whatever was done truly fixes the bug. This was a very bad GUI interface issue to begin with, i.e. users have expected behavior A, got behavior B instead, there was not an actual crash involved. What the users expected in this case was for the Trash, Files, and Media icons to lead to an already-opened window of Nautilus / file browser, opening a new tab when necessary. Instead of implementing behavior A, the fix came up with behavior C, which is somewhere in-between behaviors A and B, but it doesn't resolve the original issue, i.e. a separate window is still opened in many cases.

I propose to keep this bug open and revert the status to in-progress for unity, until the *desired* behavior is fully implemented. I think it would be very bad if unity developers don't take into account the wishes of the community in this case. If the unity team doesn't think this should be the default behavior, then they should provide an option to easily switch from what they think the behavior should be to this one, and let people know, and only then mark this as resolved/fixed.

All, please let us know if you think what I'm proposing is reasonable.
