  Clicking on Nautilus’ launcher icon opens new window instead of
  restoring the minimized one when browsing external drives/locations

Bug description:
  Sometimes left clicking the nautilus launcher icon doesn't bring up a
  minimized nautilus window. Instead of restoring the window a new
  instance of nautilus is showing up.

  Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open a nautilus window by clicking on the launcher icon.
  2. Navigate to a symlinked directory whose target is located on a different harddrive (for example: a symlink to a folder on a sd-card).
  3. Minimize the nautilus window.
  4. Try to bring up that window again by clicking the launcher icon.

  What happens:

  1. A new instance (window) of nautilus is opened.
  2. There's no obvious way to access the first window again. The only way is ALT+TAB.

  What schould happen:

  If a nautilus window is already open and minimized clicking the
  launcher icon should bring up that window. This was the behavior of
  nautilus windows in Ubuntu 12.10 (quantal).
