Description Luca Cavalli 2005-12-04 01:35:47 UTC 
Symbolic link to directories and directories itself should share the same view
(icon or list).

Steps to reproduce it:
make a directory
put some files in it
set view as file list
make a symbolic link somewhere, pointing to the directory
open the symbolic link

The patch is against NAUTILUS_2_12_2, not HEAD, sorry. It works well if the
symbolic link points to the target direcotry. It works less well it the
symbolic link points to the parent directory. I'm not sure how to fix this.
