Bug#647408: nautilus: Nautilus reverts to default settings

[Johan Spee]

Package: nautilus
Version: 3.0.2-4
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Sometimes nautilus reverts to 'default' settings, i.e. it no longer uses the
selections made under file->preferences. When I open the 'preferences' dialog
all options are back to default and applied changes are not saved. When I log out
and back in everything is as it should be.

I have no idea what triggers this behaviour.
