Better to use dpkg-divert to protect your modified nautilus.desktop than trying to use permissions. Here's the formula:

$ sudo dpkg-divert --add --rename --divert \
    /usr/share/applications/nautilus.desktop.real \
    /usr/share/applications/nautilus.desktop
$ cp /usr/share/applications/nautilus.desktop.real \
    /usr/share/applications/nautilus.desktop
$ echo "AutostartCondition=GNOME /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop" \
    >> /usr/share/applications/nautilus.desktop

This will cause upgrades of nautilus to write to nautilus.desktop.real rather than overwriting your modified version. See http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/118
