[Nelson Benítez León <nbenitezl gmail com>]

Hi,
I've posted a patch to solve long-standing issue
http://bugs.gnome.org/94618 , please see my attachment comment at the
bug, I took care of nested elements and also made a suggestion about
improving on them..

Thanks!

Subject: [PATCH] [List view] Show background contextual menu when clicking on
 blank space

Ignore it for blank space on nested elements because the contextual
menu shown is only for the current view folder.

Fixes bug 94618
