After running this for a few days (I have rebooted since I installed this), I have noticed that it seems to work sometimes - however, for some reason, now occasionally (for no clear reason) when I click the Files icon, it will open a new Files window - EVEN IF I only have a location/locations open that are inside my home directory. It has also done this for when the Trash is open. Is this a bug in the patch?
Also, I'm not going to revert this for now (the problem above is less annoying than the problem this patch was designed to fix), but I would suggest adding a line to the script to echo information on how to remove this if you need to.
