[Bug 52131] Paste in dir where user does not have write permission

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

What I did:

- Nautilus is configured to show listview, and the directory-tree on the left.
- Go to /usr/share/pixmaps
- CTRL-C on a file to copy
- CTRL-V to paste the file

What happened:

- A little text box with the full path of the copied file appears in the lower right-hand side of the nautilus window followed by some garbled text.
- The text box stays around for a few seconds and then disappears.
- The file is not copied anywhere.

What I expected:

- A message or some indication that Paste is not possible in the
directory since the user does not have the correct permissions (i.e.
/usr/share/pixmaps is only writable by root).

** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Untriaged
         Status: Unconfirmed
