This problem is quite critical in my opinion. Why? Because I want to turn some users to Ubuntu (mostly parents who don't game, Photoshop, etc., just average users), but I just couldn't do that, because then I had to start with: Hey! There is a great open source operating system, so cool, stable (… etc.). There is only one problem: the file manager does this, so we just have to unlock the most used icon from the dock. And they would ask: aren't they working on this? I would say: yes they have been working on this for the last year... But the system is top notch! … It just doesn't sound right, and my partners would lose trust really quick. But now it turns out, that this is not a bug! This is a design choice, which is actually backed up by Mark Shuttleworth himself! That made me start thinking, and playing with the system. I realized, that when I select Trash, or an external drive, their respective icons get activated. I didn't recognized it until today, however, I've been using Ubuntu for a long time! (Maybe it's because the unlucky color of the dock based on the wallpaper). So, I came up with a possible fix I would like to see happening: when the Trash, or an external drive is selected, than the arrow (and active highlight) from Files should go to the respective icon (this requires that the external drives cannot be removed from the dock... or at least get activated ad hoc in situations like this), and it should vanish from Files. Furthermore, Files should be renamed to Home. Furthermore, these icons should be packed together somehow. Like all of the are at the bottom. That's it. Than we would have a system that works logically that supports an idea, that is Fresh, and Intuitive: we're not used to it, but it's good in my opinion.
