Comment 9 for bug 19069

Honestly, I'm not sure of the status. The patch submitted in gnome bugzilla in 2009-09 is the latest and was awaiting review. Last I remember, upstream was considering the change with some other work in Nautilus, but there has been no word since.

If you'd like to start with that patch (or come up with an alternative) and see if you can figure out something better, by all means. I have not tried it to the latest/current releases to see if it still cleanly applies, but the change was pretty straightforward.
