@Nicolo:
The patch you have submitted is actually a hack, dont get me wrong, you have 
worked with the icons we presently have. 
Using the distributor logo is not the ideal way, the earlier mockups are a 
better way to implement this.
And in your upstream report the actual nautilus devs havent responded yet.And i 
highly doubt that they might accept the patch.

 *To have the Ubuntu icon displayed your patch is not required* .We can change 
the icon in the location bar , by simply editing the 
/devices/gnome-dev-harddisk. This allows the icon to be displayed also in the 
location bar.
 But if we change the icon gnome-dev-harddisk to an icon which has Ubuntu logo 
overlay, that would be used for non-Filesytem drives. [I think you know this 
already]

*But that would be a better way to do it than the patch* . It could just
also mean that the drive is mounted by the Linux OS. ;)

I have attached the screen shot of my setup.[i use the tux logo]

I like the idea, but at present we dont have any provisions to fully
implement it.

But the problem here is:
Right now , we use only 2 icons for Harddisk drives,
/devices/gnome-dev-harddisk -> icon for the mounted drives
/devices/gnome-dev-removable -> icon for unmounted drives

So the *location bar always uses the gnome-dev-harddisk icon* , for any
mounted partition

But to do this properly and fully, we need:
1: 5 new icons[in all sizes], with new icon names > [1 for filesystem, 2 for 
windows drives, 2 for linux drives]
2: patches in nautilus and gvfs[to detect the type of the partition, to allow 
correct icon assign]

*This is actually not a papercut task*. It needs more effort to properly
implement it.
