Comment 7 for bug 588328

Try this in an empty directory:
~ touch A b C d
Then try Nautilus in that directory with LC_COLLATE="C".
You'll see this order: A b C d instead of the right one: "A C b d".
It doesn't matter whether the first character in the name is a "." or not.
That "simply sorts..." sentence would require a quite complex and weird code in the Nautilus sources, though.
