Bug description:
  Binary package hint: unity-place-files

  I have set up Nautilus bookmarks to various external USB disks.

  In the Places menu of the top gnome-panel in the Ubuntu Classic
  session, and in the Bookmarks menu of Nautilus, these bookmarks do not
  show up when the devices are not plugged in. If the devices are
  plugged in but not mounted, the bookmarks show up, and clicking them
  will implicitly mount the device. This behavior has always made a lot
  of sense to me. It introduced no mental overhead for me at all when
  using these devices and their bookmarks, and added information for
  free because a glance at the Places/Bookmarks menus told me everything
  I needed to know about the device status.

  In unity-places-files, icons corresponding to the Nautilus bookmarks
  appear under Favorite Folders. They are always visible even when the
  devices are not plugged in, and clicking their icons does nothing in
  this case.
