Title:
  Setting execute permission for multiple files fails surreptitiously

Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: nautilus

  Ubuntu 10.10

  Using Nautilus, one can select multiple files (or folders) and obtain
  their combined Properties.  On the Permissions tab of the Properties
  window, there is an "Execute" checkbox, which one can check (or
  uncheck).  So I selected several files, obtained their properties,
  went to the Permissions tab, checked "Execute" and then hit "Close".
  I naturally expected each file's execute bit to be set.  Surprise:
  None of the files had their execute bit set.

  Nautilus should behave as expected and set (or unset) the flag on each
  selected file, *or* it should disable the checkbox to indicate its
  unwillingness to be helpful.  (Note that changing access permissions
  in the same way works, by contrast)
