The moment a user would click on the thumbnail on the left the theme would

The reasoning behind the controversial button movement to the left was that
starting/quitting would be on the left, and status would be on the right.
Given that reasoning, for consistency sake shouldn't indicator-session go on
the far left since it is for starting/quitting an entire session?
Switching the behavior in Nautilus to single click causes inconsistency with
the Open File dialog of any application. The Open File dialog of Firefox,
OO.org, etc still uses the traditional double click.
