** Description changed:

- 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.
+ *******
+  ISSUE 
+ *******
  
- Steps to reproduce:
+ HOW 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.
+ 1. Connect a removable media to the computer.
+ 2. On the launcher, click on the "Files" icon.
+ 3. On the left sidebar, click on the removable media icon or the trash.
+ 4. Minimize the window.
+ 5. Click on the "Files" 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.
+ EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR
  
- What schould happen:
+ - The Files window to be maximized.
  
- 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).
  
- Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail (development branch)
- nautilus 3.6.3-0ubuntu16
- unity 7.0.0daily13.04.18~13.04-0ubuntu1
+ REAL BEHAVIOUR
+ 
+ - A new window is opened.
+ 
+ 
+ RELEVANT DETAILS
+ 
+ - The only way to navigate between windows at this momment is to use the
+ "control + tabulation" key combination.
+ 
+ 
+ **********
+  SOLUTION 
+ **********
+ 
+ WORK-AROUND
+ 
+ - On the launcher, left click on the "Files" icon and select the "unlock
+ from Launcher" option.
+ 
+ 
+ FIX
+ 
+ - The launcher icon for "Files" to be treated the same way as if it was
+ unlocked.
+ 
+ 
+ REGRESSION POTENTIAL
+ 
+ - This is a regression from the fix of bug #753938, so this has to be patched in a way it fixes both issues.
+ - The proposed fix already does; sacrificing the fact that every time you click on the "Files" icon it won't send the user to its home folder but to the latest opened Files window, what was what Unity developers suggested as behaviour to the Files icon in the Launched.
