This would indeed be the best way to handle floppies in my opinion,
but last time I looked at Nautilus i found that it ideally should work
so, but really doesn't. Maybe sometimes in the future this will become
reality ...

(There were other things in Nautilus I didn't like, e.g. not removable
hard disk icons, which will tempt some idle users to play with them
...)
