Description Simon Howard 2004-06-24 00:42:55 UTC 
In Nautilus' spatial mode, it is possible to open
a folder which the user does not have permission
to view. A dialog is displayed informing the user
of the error. When the dialog is closed the window
remains open and empty despite the error. However,
in the spatial metaphor, the window IS the folder.
It follows that if the user does not have the
permission to open the window, the window should
either not open at all or should close after the
error is detected.

To reproduce:

Navigate in spatial mode to a folder you do not
have permission to view and open it.
