Title:
  links on desktop to folders, when opened, show default icon
  arrangement instead of that of the folder

Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: nautilus

  Links on my desktop to folders elsewhere in the tree, when opened, do
  not show the arrangement configuration of the original folder.

  These links were created in the parent of the original folder then
  dragged onto the desktop.  The original had been given custom icons.
  Links correctly acquired these and also acquired the sorting
  arrangement of the original folder.  However, as these links are
  dragged onto the desktop, they lose this configuration as they are
  released.  If configuration is repeated, this is seen to have been
  lost the next time these links are opened.  They then remain on my
  desktop showing a generic gnome icon instead of the custom;   and when
  opened, child folders are arranged in what seems to be the nautilus
  default config.   Nevertheless these configurations reappear correctly
  as the link is dragged off the desktop back to the folder they came
  from or some other folders but not all.  All filing systems are ext3
  but these other folders seem consistently to be in a filing system of
  a partition mounted at /home/steve/Mybox, whereas the desktop is a
  folder in the partition mounted at /home.

  I am using an up to date karpic.
  I expect folders and links to keep their own configurations.
