           Summary: incorrect permissions required to delete directory
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: nautilus
        AssignedTo: seb128 at ubuntu.com
        ReportedBy: thesicktwist at hotmail.com

Description:
Nautilus requires directory foo to have read and write permissions to permit
deletion.

Expected Results:
User only requires write and execute permission (with sticky bit off) on foo's
parent directory in order to delete foo (or any other file in foo's parent).

Steps to reproduce:
jconte at kunto:~/Desktop $ mkdir foo
jconte at kunto:~/Desktop $ chmod 600 foo
jconte at kunto:~/Desktop $ sudo chown root.root foo
Password:
jconte at kunto:~/Desktop $ ls -ld . foo
drwxr-xr-x  4 jconte jconte 496 2005-10-30 10:55 .
drw-------  2 root   root    48 2005-10-30 10:55 foo

Foo cannot be deleted from Nautilus at this point.

jconte at kunto:~/Desktop $ sudo chmod 606 foo
jconte at kunto:~/Desktop $ ls -ld . foo
drwxr-xr-x  4 jconte jconte 496 2005-10-30 11:19 .
drw----rw-  2 root   root    48 2005-10-30 11:19 foo

Nautilus will now enable the user to delete foo.

Build and Version:
Ubuntu 5.10 Breezy Badger
Nautilus 2.12.1
