Nautilus does not show emblems.

[Rob]

Binary package hint: nautilus

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS - the Lucid Lynx - released in April 2010
nautilus:
  Installed: 1:2.30.1-0ubuntu1.1
  Candidate: 1:2.30.1-0ubuntu1.1
  Version table:

Right-click on file or folder icon within a Nautilus window.
Select "Properties"
Select "Emblems" tab in dialog box.
Click check-box for emblem required.

Tick momentarily appears in the box and then immediately disappears.
The emblem does not appear on the file or folder icon in the Nautilus window.
This happens for all folders and emblems I have tried.
Emblems show OK in another user's workspace on the same computer.
It appears that in my area, when I try to set an emblem, some other agent is immediately cancelling it.
What do I have to set to re-enable emblems?

This situation occurred after I uninstalled Ubuntu One. I had trouble with Ubuntu One. It arbitrarily changed the names of many of the folders and files in my home directory. Consequently, other programs could no longer find their working files. I had to reinstall all my work files from a backup. I therefore had to discontinue using Ubuntu One.

Thanks for the report, it has been some time without any response or feedback in this bug report and we are wondering if this is still an issue for you with the latest release of Ubuntu the Natty Narwhal, May you please test with that version and comment back if you're still having or not the issue? Please have a look at http://www.ubuntu.com/download to know how to install that version.Thanks in advance and sorry for the late response.

Thanks for your reply. A power spike during a thunder storm resulted in
the boot sequence of Ubuntu becoming corrupted. I had to reinstall from
CD. After that, the emblems were OK. Since then, I have never tried to
synchronize any folders outside the Ubuntu One folder and all emblems
display OK now. I think the problem resulted from my trying to
synchronize folders outside Ubuntu One and the other named home folders.
Thanks.
