I have /apps/nautilus/preferences/desktop_is_home_dir set true

I've created a folder called storage on the desktop into which i've 
mounted a partition.

When i try to move the storage folder around the desktop nautilus
starts trying to make a copy of it.

I can drag it around the desktop with the right mouse button if i
select the move item from the pop-up menu. The problem is that
unlike other folders nautilus is trying to copy when i move
with the left mouse button.
