** Description changed:

  This is more a usability issue than a technical bug, despite very
  annoying.
  
  Situation:
- I want to share sensible information with others and use a USB thumb drive 
for that. I plug-in the USB drive and double-click the file in nautilus to view 
its contents in gedit. I view the file and do not make any changes to it. I 
close gedit and remove the USB drive.
+ I want to share sensible information with others and use a USB thumb drive 
for that.
+ The files on the thumb drive are GPG-encrypted. I plug-in the USB drive and 
double-click an encrypted text file in nautilus to view its contents in gedit. 
I view the file and do not make any changes to it. I close gedit and unplug the 
USB drive.
  
  What I expected to happen:
  Since I did not make any changes to the text file, I expect the USB drive to 
be unchanged in any way.
  
  What happens:
- Before launching gedit, seahorse-nautilius decrypts the file and deletes the 
original, encrypted file without further inquiry. After closing gedit the 
status is not repaired, i.e. the unencrypted file is left behind on the USB 
drive.
+ Before launching gedit, seahorse-nautilius decrypts the file, stores the 
plaintext file in the same directory as the encrypted, original file and 
deletes the original, encrypted file without further inquiry. After closing 
gedit the status is not repaired, i.e. the unencrypted file is left behind on 
the USB drive.
  
  I think that the default action in this case should not be a persistent
  change of the original file. Think of an archive file and file-roller.
  The default action there is to open the archive for reading, not
  decompressing it and deleting the archive file.
