Bug#607308: nautilus actions not working for multiple files

[jamesb]

Package: nautilus
Version: 2.20.0-7
Severity: normal

nautilus-actions-config was used to set gedit (arguments %M to pass selected multiple
files)

nautilus works with its new context menu item 'Editor' (for gedit) on a single
select item.. however not for multiple items..

(selecting multiple text files and opening the context menu does not show
'Editor')
