I upgraded to Natty about in May 2011. The problem persists without change.
You may be interested to know: something interesting did occur in March 2011 for a short time while I was running Maverick. Correct file icons were displayed one day. This was while my machine was finding difficulties due to a shortage of disc space in my /home partition. Without much thought, I downloaded a feature length movie onto my desktop. Following this, my Gnome displayed a few strange effects that I attributed to shortage of space on my /home partition. The strange effects included larger desktop fonts which were not my configuration. Icons in Nautilus were also displayed large, not my configuration. But my files were displayed in the correct icons!!! After I uncluttered my desktop, my Gnome returned to normal (I guess after the next reboot, I don't remember). Following this episode, my guess was that shortage of diskspace made Gnome unable to consult the user configuration and so uses a default config file. And that Nautilus is able to behave as designed on this default configuration but is unable to do so on the user config file. Maybe the user config file does not save the user settings properly. I do hope this is helpful. I would love this problem to be fixed. Bets wishes, Steve.
