Can't delete symlinks to directories without write permisions

[Ben Roe]

If I create a link to a directory which I have only read access to on my
desktop, I can't delete it using Nautilus. I can delete the symbolic link from a
terminal window, but Nautilus refuses to believe I can delete it.

To reproduce:

1) Middle-button click and drag /home to the desktop as a normal user
2) Observe padlock on icon
3) Attempt to delete link

This is with an up-to-date Breezy system as of the morning(GMT) of 3rd Oct 2005

Works fine here, please retry with the latest nautilus.

Yes, it's working fine now with nautilus 2.12.1-0ubuntu1 installed. Thanks!
