Personally I would not do this (I'd expect nautilus to do things like drop metadata under /usr...) But of course it should be made to work, as you should be able to do root tasks without using the command line. Yes, you are right of course. There could be a special root nautilus mode, that might implement some access properties like in sudo. It would be nice in general to have better ways to handle operations that need root in the GUI. I'm not sure running a whole nautilus as root is a good idea. Anyway, this has to be solved upstream. Upstream already know about this issue, so I'm just gonna close this bug for now. Thanks for your comments. |
