Please describe the problem:
Originally sent to launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/270963

When you unmount a removable volume from nautilus, it shows the contents of /media. Since for most users there is not much to be seen there, it would be more usefult to show their home instead.

Steps to reproduce:
1. 
2. 
3. 


Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?

I think this should be marked FIXED now that we redirect to computer:// on unmount.
Comment 2 Cosimo Cecchi 2010-03-09 09:43:50 UTC 
Yeah, I agree.

Redirecting to Computer does not seem such a good fix though:
– It exposes the filesystem even more
– It is very unlikely that you want to continue working in Computer because there normally is:
  – CD/DVD Drive (which you haven’t used in months)
  – Filesystem (…)
  – USB Drive (the one you probably just ejected)

Redirecting to one’s home folder is a much more sensible and useful solution.
