Public bug reported: Binary package hint: nautilus
Links on my desktop to folders elsewhere in the tree, when opened, do not show the arrangement configuration of the original folder. These links were created in the parent of the original folder then dragged onto the desktop. The original had been given custom icons. Links correctly acquired these and also acquired the sorting arrangement of the original folder. However, as these links are dragged onto the desktop, they lose this configuration as they are released. If configuration is repeated, this is seen to have been lost the next time these links are opened. They then remain on my desktop showing a generic gnome icon instead of the custom; and when opened, child folders are arranged in what seems to be the nautilus default config. Nevertheless these configurations reappear correctly as the link is dragged off the desktop back to the folder they came from or some other folders but not all. All filing systems are ext3 but these other folders seem consistently to be in a filing system of a partition mounted at /home/steve/Mybox, whereas the desktop is a folder in the partition mounted at /home. I am using an up to date karpic. I expect folders and links to keep their own configurations.
