Even if I could not reproduce the fault by copying a file from normal_user_nautilus's window to root_user_nautilus's window and then changing ownership of the copied file (and the directory where it resides) with 'chown -R user:user Dir', I got some (interesting?) error messages from the root_user_nautilus: { #### XSu-6185.

I have edited out any lines not coming from the XSu instance which launched the root_user_nautilus.
By the way, when I changed ownership nautilus did not show the change (once I waited a couple of minutes) in the listing of files (List view). I had to click 'reload' to have nautilus show it right.
