Are you sure? Try to insert a CD, using g-v-m to show its icon on
Desktop. You have "Browse Folder" right-clicking over a CD icon...

Alternatives:
      * s/_Browse\ Folder/_Browse/ for all items
      * s/_Browse\ Folder/_Browse\ "%s"/ only for non folder item (where
        %s is the icon caption

BTW when /apps/nautilus/preferences/always_use_browser is TRUE, both
"Open" and "Browse Folder" menu items do the same action. Should we
remove or disable something?

Maybe. The menu item to create a connection to server is "Connect to
Server...", isn't it? So, mirroring, "Disconnect" should be OK.

I'll provide a patch. Stay tuned. BTW there are other 2 or 3 occurrences
of similar strings.
