Another use case:
- you bought a new harddrive/usbstick
- you created partitions and formated them with ext*
- you fire up nautlius to start using them and sure enough, they appear in the 
places bar.
- you click to mount them

- now you try to copy files to them

BUT

they are owned by root and you have to go to the shell to change
permissions.

a newbie and userfriendly way would be to show a sudo dialog when
changing permissions on files/folders you don't own.
