@ Sebastien Bacher: it is very easily reproducible (it's rather a usability imperfection than a software bug).
You just need to create a new file (as I said above, I've tried this with Openoffice.org, Gedit, Archive manager, Brasero, Sound recorder and Gimp and they all had the same behaviour) and then give it a name containing a (/). It will appear a dialog saying
THE FOLDER CONTENTS COULD NOT BE DISPLAYED:
Error stating file 'home/ale/xxxxx' : no such file or directory

I think that such a message is misleading, as I said above (I have to admit that I myself didn't understand is meaning until Ilya B came). It should be easy to find a more user-friendly sentence!

Thank you for your great job with Ubuntu
