Bug description:
  When using unity you can open only one home folder nautilus. Want
  another window ? go to file->New window. Now let's assume I'm copying
  a large file that takes a few minutes to process, now I close
  nautilus. The file operations dialog is still running. Now Unity
  thinks home folder is activated because of the file operation dialog.
  Want a new window browser ? out of lack file operations don't have a
  file menu. if no shortcut on the desktop need to run nautilus from the
  terminal not so sleek.

  Desired resolution:

  - Mark the window 'skipped task list'

  then...

  - When a file copy is in progress, the Nautilus Launcher icon should
  display the Launcher progress emblem (this should show the overall
  progress of all copy actions currently in flight)

  - Add a option to the Nautilus quicklist titled "Cancel all in-
  progress actions".  When no Nautilus actions are in progress the
  option should be displayed in the inactive state, switching to the
  active state at the same time the 'progress emblem' appears when a
  copy or move action begins.

  Note that 'skipped task list' window should be handled according to
  the following logic:

  - If a application only has 'skipped task list' window(s) open and no
  main windows open, the Launcher icon should appear in the not running
  state

  - Clicking on such a Launcher icon should open a new main window, and
  return the Launcher icon to the running state.

  - If a application only has 'skipped task list' window(s) open and no
  main windows open, and is also not pinned to the launcher (e.g. is not
  'sticky'), it should remain in the Launcher in the not running state.
  When all the 'skipped task list' window(s) are closed, the application
  icon should then leave the Launcher.

  - If a application has both main window(s) and 'skipped task list'
  window(s) open, and one of these window is in focus, clicking on the
  Launcher icon will trigger a spread of *all* the windows, irrespective
  of the window's type
