Title:
  Nautilus crashes when changing permissions

Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This happens when running as root:

  myuser@mycomputer:~$ gksu nautilus

  When permissions are changed through right-clicking a folder and
  selecting properties, nautilus displays a properties dialog, quickly
  followed by an empty dialog box and crashes. This only affects
  folders, not files.

  Sometimes the dialog displays:

  "The owner could not be changed."
  "Sorry, could not change the owner of 'test'. Specified owner 'myuser' does not exist."

  (See attachments).

  I know myuser exists as I am logged in as myuser!
  This also happens when the folder is owned by 'otheruser', who is not logged on.

  ===Work-around===

  Use chmod to change permissions.
