Bug Description
If I restart my machine after I shared a folder the "shared" icon is missing and the context-menu share-option is turned off as if the folder isn't shared anymore. If I access the folder from another computer over the network the folder is still shared. So I can't determine from within the system which folders are shared and can't really unshare them.
Workaround: Look which folders are shared from another computer/vm, share them again and deselect sharing without rebooting.

SourcePackage: nautilus-share
UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install)
[edit]
The bug occurs when the result of the command "net usershare info" ends with an error message, which is caused e.g. by deleting (or moving/renaming) a shared folder, which name goes last in the alphabet in relation to other shared folders. (exception seems to be shares that begin with the letter "a". Shares that begin with "a" are always listed last)
This is because the share definition in /var/lib/
The bug can be fixed if the (alphabetically last) obsolent share definition is deleted.
This Bug affects all Distributions using gnome (testet on Ubuntu 10.04 and
Ubuntu 12.04 beta-2 as well as the current Debian stable release.)

The Sharing Option context menu item is always turned on for folders. Are you
sure you have nautilus-share installed? If so, nautilus might be having some
issues loading the plugin.
Please kill nautilus and post the output of a newly launched nautilus instance
in the terminal. Also, please post the output of "net usershare info"
status incomplete
