Well you're not alone :-)
I have come to realize that I think Nautilus has a broken implementation of
permissions because it prohibits doing what I have just learned I can do
from the command line:
jconte@kunto:~/Desktop $ ls -ld .
drwxr-xr-x 3 jconte jconte 472 2005-10-29 21:34 .
jconte@kunto:~/Desktop $ mkdir foo
jconte@kunto:~/Desktop $ chmod 700 foo
jconte@kunto:~/Desktop $ sudo chown root.root foo
Password:
jconte@kunto:~/Desktop $ ls -ld foo
drwx------ 2 root root 48 2005-10-29 21:34 foo
At this point, Nautilus says that I do not have permission to delete foo but
I can do so from the command line:
jconte@kunto:~/Desktop $ rmdir foo
jconte@kunto:~/Desktop $ ls -ld foo
ls: foo: No such file or directory
Time to fire up bugzilla I guess...
