Comment 16 for bug 411322

Checking in another karmic install (dist-upgrade from jaunty before alpha1), I found that it DOES have the .nautilus/metafiles folder, with .xml files holding metadata. But they haven't been updated since July 17th, when nautilus was upgraded to the new version. Maybe the old file is still over-writing new paradigms if it is still there. I've removed it (file:.......Desktop.xml).

But that didn't immediately solve the problem. Neither did upgrading libgnomeui-0, or anything else that might have done the trick on my first karmic install (Upgrade from a clean alpha4 iso).
