RHBA-2011:0440 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated nautilus packages that fix two bugs are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The Nautilus file manager integrates access to files, applications, media, and
the Internet, and is a core component of the GNOME desktop project.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• Previously, Nautilus did not check input events correctly. Due to this

problem, folders were opened twice if the user double-clicked already selected
folders. This update adds additional checks to determine whether the same or
another item is clicked. Now, double-clicking these items behaves as expected.
(BZ#427580)

• Previously, Nautilus did not respect the environment umask setting. Due to

this problem, newly created files which were internally copied from templates,
inherited permissions from the original file. This update adds a flag to respect
the umask setting. Now, newly created files, which are internally copied from
templates, have the correct permissions according to the desired umask.
(BZ#459687)

All nautilus users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
these bugs.
