---------------
nautilus (1:2.32.2-0ubuntu2) natty; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/02_dont_set_default.patch:
    - when opening a file with an application don't check the box to set
      the software as the default handler for the selected type, it's
      leading users to set handlers without noticing, thanks Doug McMahon

Title:
  Nautilus: 'Remember this application for ..." option should be made inactive by default

Status in Nautilus:
  Unknown
Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: nautilus

By having this option enabled by default when used on dir.'s the app chosen is set as the new default folder handler.

This is causing users problems, more every day,  and there is no benefit to having it as a default active option (not sure if the option has any value at all.
With the box inactive  - when used on dir.'s the app chosen will still be added to the 'open with' menu, but not set as default folder handler.
(( while having the box active for files causes no issues, again having it inactive does not prevent the choice from being added to the 'open with' menu for that mimetype, so the simple fix for the moment would be to just make inactive period.

As simple as 
gtk_toggle_button_set_active (GTK_TOGGLE_BUTTON (dialog->details->checkbox), FALSE);
