[Hoary] creating a hidden file on the desktop > buggy behaviour

[Ari Torhamo]

Hi,

I just installed Hoary array 7 to see if the bug I found while using
array 6 is still present. And it seems to be.

When I create a hidden file (or a directory) on the desktop or the
Nautilus desktop window and then try to move it to the trash, the icon
stays on the desktop but disappears from the Nautilus desktop window.
When I open the properties window of the icon, it says there that the
file is in the trash and "Remove from the trash" option is visible in
the context menu. If I choose "Remove from the trash", nothing happens.
But if I then reload the Nautilus desktop window, two emblems - a lock
and a red one with an "x" in it - appear on top of the file icon on the
desktop. The only way to remove this persistent icon seems to be to log
out from the current session. I'd like to know if this happends to
others too. I searched bugzilla for this but couldn't find any report of
it.

I also noticed that when I copy (not create) a hidden file or directory
on the desktop or into the Nautilus desktop window, it only appears in
the Nautilus window - not on the desktop. Is this behaviour intentional?

Regards,

Ari
