- The first entry on the context menu
-- Creates a file named "Empty Document.txt" exactly like the template file

- The 2nd menu entry
-- Creates a file named "Empty Document"
-- This menu item imho should go away

Here is the diff who fix it, I wonder if we should cherry pick or update to nautilus 3.6.6 >=, it also seems debian and ubuntu nautilus packages are out of sync

http://git.gnome.org/browse/nautilus/commit/?id=9323dde5c0f06b048b1daaf2cc683991d6b7d076

rmadison output:

=> Ubuntu nautilus | 1:3.6.3-0ubuntu5
=> Debian nautilus | 3.6.1-2 | experimental

Well I have a better understanding of what is happening at the human level than at #3 above.

head --lines 9 dists/raring/Release
Origin: Ubuntu
Label: Ubuntu
Suite: raring
Version: 13.04
Codename: raring
Date: Wed, 13 Feb 2013 7:20:15 UTC
Architectures: i386
Components: main restricted
Description: Ubuntu Raring 13.04

- Changes from what I observed in #3 above
  - Before we had prebuild empty document as well as the test created template in the context menu
    - xxx and xxx.txt
  - the context menu showed both without the suffix so it _looked_ a bit weird
        - since somebody decided no not show the real filename
    - It did work accurately though

- This version does eliminate the paper ... scratch I cited above... sorta

- Only if you start with an empty template folder as per Tc-Nfm-001
    - AND you use touch to create the document not Nautilus

- Now IF the Template Folder is empty
  - There is NO context menu to create a new document
  - I believe that to be a step backwards from before
    - A Quickfix workaround might be to put some documents in the Templates folder
      - Text, Letter, Drawing, Spreadsheet ...

- You can create all the docs you want with bash in ~/Templates
  - They will not show up in a New Document Menu

- If you use Nautilus to drag a document into the Templates folder
   - It will appear on the New Document context menu immediately
  - Along with the default Empty Document menu Item from #3 above

- If you restart the system all the documents in ~/Templates will appear on the context menu

I tried to issue a bug-report from the running iso but it fought me
