Public bug reported:

Hello,

this bug seems to have been introduced with the new GTK3-based Nautilus
version (it is also present in Oneiric).

If I try to set a custom value for "Default zoom level" for Compact view
mode in Nautilus (via Edit -> Preferences -> Views), it is ignored and
the default value (66%) is used anyway.

Reproducing this is easy:

- Start Nautilus
- Go to Edit -> Preferences -> Views
- Select "View new folders using Compact view"
- Close Nautilus window and open a new one
- Got to Edit -> Preferences -> Views again
- Select a very large or very small zoom level for "Compact View defaults"
- Close Nautilus window and open a new one again

The exspected result would be that the icons are either very large or
small (depending on what you chose before). But they are still the same
size as before, regardless whether you restart Nautilus/open different
folders etc. .

Some kind of workaround is to set an individual size for certain folders
via Ctrl+'+' or Ctrl+'-' (This works). But this is very annoying since
you would have to do this for _every_ folder if you want to have a
consistend icon size.

Kind regards,
Jan
