Dangit.  Accidently hit 'enter' when I meant to 'tab'..

Nautilus allows a trailing space on filenames when renaming, and while this
isn't a problem for unices, it doesn't play nice with others:

 - When browsing a samba share (via windoze) where a folder name has been
allowed trailing whitespace, it gives an error 'Cannot access folder foo'..  
 - When burnt to a cd/dvd (standard iso image) and opened on a windoze machine,
it does the same thing.

Either Nautilus should strip any trailing whitespace by default when
naming/renaming a folder (preferred), Nautilus should warn of trailing
whitespace and offer to fix, or some (invisible to the user) cleaning method
should be provided via samba or mkisofs to strip any trailing whitespace.

Systems/software versions used:
Ubuntu Hoary
 - Nautilus 2.10.0-0ubuntu9
 - Samba 3.0.10-1ubuntu3
 - mkisofs 4:2.0+a38-1ubuntu4

Windows XP SP1
