I suggest you file a Nautilus bug report on bugzilla.gnome.org (please add me to the cc list). --=20 Jean-Yves Lefort jylefort@FreeBSD.org http://lefort.be.eu.org/ --Signature=_Thu__28_Apr_2005_23_38_51_+0200_ej5NJ_W85_6X6cv5 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFCcVfryzD7UaO4AGoRAk+aAJ4rCbTdU/zTYHv+xkUlBxUIuUGjHwCfR6Ma uLsKbJGWYZhbkvM3QHnsADc= =68VN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Signature=_Thu__28_Apr_2005_23_38_51_+0200_ej5NJ_W85_6X6cv5--
