I don't understand German, but I'm guessing (based on what Iain Lane and
Google Translate have both told me) that ~/Bilder is the German
equivalent of ~/Pictures, which is one of the XDG standard directories.
This would mean that this bug is probably as the nautilus-share bug
about nautilus-share not recognizing XDG standard directory shares upon
restart. I'd go get the bug number, but my Internet connection is being
a pain, and launchpad won't load.
