Title:
  When clicking the "Files" icon in the Unity launcher, instead of
  switching to the already opened nautilus window, a new nautilus window
  is opened

Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Ubuntu version: 14.04 LTS
  Nautilus version: 1:3.10.1-0ubuntu9.1
  Unity version: 7.2.1+14.04.20140513-0ubuntu2

  Sometimes, when you already have a nautilus window opened and you
  switch to another application, if you the click "Files" icon in the
  Unity launcher to switch back to that nautilus window, a new nautilus
  window is opened instead simply showing the nautilus window that was
  already opened.

  Steps to reproduce problem:
  0. Close all nautilus windows.
  1. Click on the "Files" icon in the Unity launcher to open a new nautilus window.
  2. On the left pane of nautilus, under the Devices section, open a partition or hard drive of your computer which is not the root partition of your Ubuntu installation.
  3. Switch to any other application (such as the Caculator or a Terminal window) using the Unity launcher.
  4. Click on the "Files" icon in the Unity launcher to switch back to the nautilus window that you had opened.

  Expected behaviour: The nautilus window opened in step 1 is focused.
  Actual behaviour: A new nautilus window is opened.

  The problem can be reproduced by the following steps as well:
  0. Make sure no nautilus window is opened.
  1. Click on the Trash icon in the Unity launcher.
  2. Click on the "Files" icon in the Unity laucher.

  Expected behaviour: The nautilus window which opened when the Trash icon was clicked is focused.
  Actual behaviour: A new nautilus window is opened.

  The reason I believe that the bug lies within nautilus is because I
  tried the first set of steps with the Thunar file browser and the
  problem did not occur. However, it could be a bug within the Unity
  launcher as well.
