Title:
  unity makes confusion when trying to focus partitions' folders

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  How to reproduce
  version 1:workspaces disabled
  Open gedit
  Click on a partition icon on the launcher
  You see nautilus windows appears, a white arrow appears alongside of Files icon and both the icon of the volume you clicked on and the File's one have a backlight.
  Focus gedit
  I see the white arrow is alongside of the Files icon, so if I want to focus the partition's folder I should click on it. I do it
  Expected result
  Unity focuses the partition's folder
  What happens instead
  Damn! It opens a new File window in my home folder, but if I click on the partition icon it works... ok, I can get used to it, even if it's a bit confusing...

  
  version 2:workspaces enabled
  Click on a partition icon on the launcher
  You see nautilus windows appears, a white arrow appears alongside of Files icon and both the icon of the volume you clicked on and the File's one have a backlight.
  Switch to another workspace
  I want to focus the partition's folder in the other workspace, as in the previous case I see the arrow alongside File's icon and I click on it
  Expected result
  Unity switches to the correct workspace and focuses the partition's folder
  What happens:
  It opens a new File's window in my home folder. Ok ok, I have to click on the partition's icon. I do it.
  Expected result #2
  Unity switches to the correct workspace and focuses the partition's folder
  What happens #2
  What!? The File icon wiggles and its edge becomes illuminated? Nothing else? Do I really have to manually switch to the correct workspace and then click on the "correct" icon? I can't realize a convenient way to focus the window on the other workspace without doing it manually (which is not comfortable)
