My Setup:
Ubuntu 10.04 64bit, kernel v2.6.32-25-generic, standard release gnome desktop.

This bug is present on my computer. I mainly encounter it because I
share my computer with my wife. She has her account and I have mine. I
am the system administrator of my computer, and when the need arises to
transfer a file or make a shared director for doing such. Often times
the files that appear in that share folder or transfered file end up
with root permissions only. As such I have to change the ownerships and
groups back to something that can be viewed and shared by both I and my
wife.

It doesn't bother me to use the command line or to write an executable
script that is linked to an icon, I just wish I didn't have to do this
for every new release of Ubuntu to get around this issue in Nautilus.

Did the permissions function work in nautilus on earlier versions of
Ubuntu? Did it ever work? If so, what broke it originally? Whats keeping
it broken now? Just curious.
