Icon captions in Nautilus don't work

[Alex Viskovatoff]

Hi,

The documentation for Nautilus states:

  An icon caption displays the name of a file or folder in an icon 
  view. The icon caption also includes three additional items of 
  information on the file or folder. The additional information is 
  displayed after the file name. Normally only one item of information
  is visible, but when you zoom in on an icon, more of the information
  is displayed.

This doesn't work on my system. In a Nautilus window, if I move the
pointer close to an icon, the icon becomes highlighted, and the pointer
changes from an arrow to a hand with an extended index finger, but
nothing else happens. Specifically, no "additional information is
displayed after the file name". In "Icon captions" in "File management
preferences", I have something selected in all three drop-down lists.

Does anyone have any idea of what could be wrong with my system? Should
a daemon be running that isn't? (I do have gnome-settings-daemon
running, for example; if it isn't running, some fancy icon images don't
load.) According to yum, my system is completely up to date.

Thanks in advance for any ideas.
