Bug#618770: Nautilus ignoring first double click on mount icons

I have noticed this same behaviour, and dug a bit further:

When set to the default open-on-double-click behaviour, Nautilus ignores
the first attempt to open any mounted location via a double click on its
icon, either on the desktop or on a browser window, even if the location
was already opened via the Places menu: the the browser does not open
(when on the desktop) or changes to the location (when on a browser
window).

This regards fstab locations ('/' being the exception) and automounted
drives, and does not happen when in open-on-single-click mode, or with
regular files and folders.

Oddly enough, if I log out of the Gnome session and return, it won't
repeat the miss: a reboot is needed to replicate the behaviour.

I'm using a properly updated installation of Debian squeeze (6.0.1,
"Linux version 2.6.32-5-amd64 (Debian 2.6.32-34) (dannf at debian.org) (gcc
version 4.3.5 (Debian 4.3.5-4) ) #1 SMP Wed May 4 22:04:54 UTC 2011").

Best regards
