** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: nautilus
  
  9.10: Nautilus 2.28.1
  
  In the list view the difference in permissions does not result in
  appropriate icon differences. (only one emblem is shown)
  
  i.e. in the case below a lock emblem is shown but the X emblem for
  inaccessible is not shown in the list view.
  
  (The lock is suggesting heavy access restriction but meaning "read-
  only". Maybe better put a pen behind the lock or X if item is not
  writeable)
  
  Case:
  
  I added a second user "user2" to the machine and added user1 to the user2 
group. After newly logging in as user1 and browsing to
  /home/user2 drwxrwxr-x 23 user2 user2
  
  In listview I see both these examples only with the "lock" emblem
  although I can not enter the 2nd dir:
  
- Desktop drwxr-xr-x 2 user2 user2
- private drwx------ 6 user2 user2
+ /home/user2/Desktop drwxr-xr-x 2 user2 user2
+ /home/user2/private drwx------ 6 user2 user2
  
  -> /root and /lost+found directories do display with only the "x" emblem
  in listview.
  
- -> The lock emblem seems to be suppressed (in all views) for dirs other
- then subdirs of homedirs?
+ -> The lock emblem (read-only) seems to be suppressed (in all views) for
+ dirs other then subdirs of homedirs?
+ 
+ Possible solution:
+ -Provide more intuitve read-only emblem and don't suppress it for system 
folders.
+ -Show inaccessible dirs greyed-out instead of with an X emblem.
