Comment 17 for bug 165113

This bug does not just effect users running nautilus under root prilages but also normally whilst logged in to their prospective user accounts.

Why has this bug not been fixed?
Surely this bug should have been fixed already, especially as a button advertises this feature but does not function.

Therefore any unknowing user may not understand why when pressing the "Apply permissions to enclosed files" button the permissions of enclosed files have not been changed!

It is an annoyance that this button is still non functional even in the new release of ubuntu 9.04 especially as other DM's and OS's have similar features functional!

I propose disabling the button in an update to prevent any confusion in the future.
