unity-place-files shouldn't show hidden files

[Pete Goodall]

Binary package hint: unity

I'm editing a document in OpenOffice.org that resides in the ~/Downloads/ directory. OpenOffice.org creates a lock file while you edit the document and now that lock file (which starts with a '.') is displayed in the Files Place under the Downloads section. I see no reason why anyone would want that behaviour.

Note that browsing files doesn't list backup or hidden files. They can only be seen in the Downloads group on the home page of the Files place.

If we want to distropatch this, here's the fix in lp:unity-place-files:

Still appears to be showing non-hidden files in .hidden directories.
