Bug Description

Open the new 'Files' browser and access a directory which is not in the partition containing root and then minimise the window. If now you click on it's icon in the unity panel to display the window again, the browser opens a NEW window displaying the home directory.

This happens only when a directory external to the root drive is opened initially. Also, the problem is resolved if the 'Files' icon is not docked on the launcher.
