@John, At UDS, we had decided that the Nautilus launcher icon will contain a quicklist item "Open a New Window" (see spec [1]) which will open a new file browser window in any case.
The solution given by you would bring inconsistency. When a file copy operation is under progress, a small copy dialog is always open. If someone moves focus to another window, and then wants to check out the progress again, then he/she would click the launcher icon, thinking that it'd bring the file copy dialog in the foreground (this is the current behavior). But if we implement a solution as per the bug description, clicking the launcher icon in such a case would open a new window, and hence there would be no easy way to go to the file copy progress dialog. Hence I request you to re-consider a solution for this bug. I'd myself prefer the Quicklist solution as mentioned in the spec [1].
