Bug Description
Lately I once again walked they was of using a GUI to condigure a "share" in nautilus. The Installation is a fresh hardy, though I changed the permissions in /home so that different users can't see others home.
After creating the share I was asked if I want to install the service, which I confirmed, but the Share could not be created as I didn't had permission to write to the configuration file - the trouble is, that the service added the usershare group, which I was suddently added to, but was not effective until I did re-login.
After that, I tried again, and was told, that the permissions do not work, that the world needs access to the folder and I got prompted if nautilus should solve it, which I confirmed, but the Dialog stayed, that the permissions do not work - some chmod's on a terminal finally got it to work.
All in all it does work, but some things are not as smooth as it could be.
