Public bug reported:
When I try and create a shared folder in Nautilus as a normal user it
gives an error message "Cannot hange permissions of the folder". This
occurs when i click the create share button in the sharing options
dialog. This error occurs no matter what permissions i have set on the
folder (even when it is set to 777). But it is resolved if nautilus is
run as root. However when run as a normal user, nautilus does not ask
for my password to do this particular operation, so i am left to launch
it myself as root from the command line.
This is important to fix as noobs will not know how to get around this
