This shouldn't be unity dealing with that, but either nautilus shipping the desktop file as a SRU (but this won't f(?ix the case for precise) and special casing this in glib (?) to handle the removed desktop file. I'm looking into this, thanks for notifying about this issue.

The issue is simple, updaters are quite likely to have this line in the [Default Applications] section of ~/.local/share/mimeapps.list inode/directory= If it is inode/directory=nautilus-folder-handler.desktop, which no longer exists, then things like trash & usb flash drives will open with the 1st. listed .desktop on the inode/directory= line in the [Added Associations] section which in many cases is a media player Have just myself seen Edit: 40 such cases in a couple days for users that are logging into gnome-fallback this can also extend to the places menu In 11.10 & 12.04 this will mainly affect 10.10, 11.04 & 10.04 users who installed before 10.04.2 Maybe there is nothing to be done, eventually it will go away as installs with nautilus-folder.handler.desktop disappear (it's possible that one of the other nautilus.desktop names that is also no longer used could be on that line to the same effect.
