Bug#417165: nautilus: error writing to floppy

[Brent S. Elmer, Ph.D.]

Not exactly the same problem.  If I insert a floppy, click on the gnome
"Computer" shortcut, right click on the floppy icon and select mount,
then left click to browse, I see the contents of the floppy and I can
write to it.  However, if I insert a floppy, click on the gnome
"Computer" shortcut, then left click to browse without mounting it
first, it acts like it mounts the floppy but the Nautilus browser window
that opens is browsing / on the hard drive instead of the floppy and of
course I can't write to /.
