Thats totally not what I meant. If you type in the uri of a directory in
Nautilus we should of course never do anything other than open it in
Nautilus. What I was talking about is the errors in the case we
magically "assumed" the user meant to do something than browse to
another folder, i.e. in the case of a non-directory location.
