For me (on 9.10) the issue with group dirs resolved to be an issue with the list view not showing all emblems.
I have no idea why you are not seeing the correct emblems for non writeable dirs. (even though a lock may suggest you can not even enter the dir) But I can confirm that dirs owned by another user and group (which I am not a member of, i.e. like foreign home dirs) are missing/don't have the lock emblem. -- in list view: inaccessible directory has same emblem as read-only directory https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/489977 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
