nautilus ubuntu 17.10 remove libunity dependency

[Mike Neac]

I was under impression that unity is gone from main support. So what is with libunity dependency in nautilus 3.25? Version 3.24 was working fine without it.

And nautilus(and probably others gnome apps) should be without those headerbar/titlebar patches. Please leave it as it is. If someone wants to use nautilus in other desktop it probably wants to use like it was meant to be(I know you could use export XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME, but why force ugly, out of place title bar for gnome apps designed not to use one...

(Copied from bug comments:)

Ubuntu is going to ship Unity-7 to make the transition easier. Also Mate is using hud and unity-gtk-module, xfce is using indicators and all (and hence various unity dependency) and xfce also prefer titlebar instead of headerbar. These patches made carefully so that it doesn't affect gnome-shell anyway.

Gnome-apps designed was designed that way only for gnome. But they also made a door if a distro wants to patch it back. (I personally, like headerbar, but I can't impose my personal choice over everyone else.)

Thank you for your bug report, what's your issue with libunity exactly? It's a small library, it was used in 16.10 as well and it doesn't change the UI, it just makes nautilus send informations to the system so the unity launcher can display extra informations.
Is your issue with other changes or with libunity?

Never mind, I moved on. I really tried to like nautilus. It works fine, BUT has many small annoyances that makes you angry like:
* search results cant be sorted in any way
* date modified in ugly format that cant be changed
* ...
