If you wish to stop this behavior pending a gnome bug fix you may try this, tested on 12.04

sudo -H gedit /usr/share/applications/nautilus.desktop

Look for this line StartupNotify=true, change it to StartupNotify=false

Then restart nautilus or simply do a log out/in

There are 2 other nautilus .desktop's, home-folder.desktop & nautilus-folder-handler.desktop, I believe you can leave them as is
