0. Close all existing nautilus/file manager instances.
1. Plug in a usb device that has one or more mountable drives.

NOTE: Ubuntu automounts these drives (my device has two in this case), opens the drives in nautilus and adds them to the launcher, bringing the nautilus windows to the front (but see [Bug 887292] -- nautilus windows from newly opened usb drives don't appear in the menu, but are on the foreground).

2. Move the mouse over the launcher area.

NOTE: There is now a media player icon for each usb drive that has been mounted, none of which have the glyph to indicate that there is an instance of this launcher program running. However, there are for the Files launcher (aligning with the number of usb drives connected in (1)).

NOTE: This is confusing to me as Unity performed the jiggling icon animation for the two usb drives to indicate new items in the launcher and has the drives listed in the launcher. I would expect that these nautilus instances would be associated with their corresponding usb drive.

3. Press the mouse button on one of the usb drives added in (1).

NOTE: The files launcher now has an extra instance indicator (mine is at 3, from 2), while the usb drive still does not have any.
