Do you still see this problem with Fedora Core 2?
I still get this problem in Fedora Core 2 (with updates). It seems to be related to this upstream bug, which has been open since March 2002! http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76283
Okay, seems to be a gnome-vfs bug - moving there, but closing as resolved UPSTREAM.
The fix is in gnome-vfs 2.7.90 and, as such, will appear soon in FC3.
