Because Nautilus is submarine that belongs to Captain Nemo. It knows
nothing of files and permissions. It is controlled by the helmsman.

:)

If you run gconf-edit go to: apps->nautilus->preferences and set
"show_advanced_permissions" to on (it may take a check box).

Now open a nautilus window and go to edit->preferences->list columns and
you can select to display the permissions of folders and files. You
don't _have_ to display them to now have better edit control over them.
Select a folder with a right-click and choose properties->permissions
and you should have full capabilities over the setting now.

There may be a better way to do this with umasking but that will involve
a log out/in process.

Of course the gconf-edit is a **per-user** mess that will need to be
scripted and pushed to everyone. Why gnome even thinks the "registry" is
a good idea... At least it is a text file and not binary mess.
