Bug Description
Impact:
Navigating symlinks in nautilus leads to incorrect directories
Test case:
1. Create a directory in Home called Folder
2. Right click on Folder in Nautilus and select 'make link'
3. Drag created link to Desktop
4. Double-click on Link to Folder to open it in Nautilus
Clicking the back arrow in Nautilus behaves as it should--it takes you back to Desktop, not the parent folder of the target of the link.
However, the architecture displayed near the top of the Nautilus window shows the parent directory of the target, not of the link (i.e., it shows [Home][Folder], not [Home][
Pressing alt+up also takes you to the parent of the target, not the link.
Regression potential:
check that creating symlinks and navigating those works correctly
