I spoke too soon when I said the bug was gone. I am now using Nautilus 3.2.1 64bit - and it frequently forgets its settings. I still have not been able to trigger this behaviour.
There is a similar report here (fedora): https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=737957 Let me know if there is anything I can do to help. -- Johan Spee -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
