Changing product from Gnopernicus to Orca
Looks like a nautilus-file-management-properties bug to me - the labels are not bound to the combo boxes.
Reassigning to nautilus. The main problem here is that the LABEL_FOR for the combo box labels and LABELLED_BY property of the combo boxes need to be set. In looking at these in at-poke, this doesn't appear to be the case.
This may be related to eel bug 341420, but I'm not sure.
We've provided some workarounds in Orca for this problem, but it would be great to see the issue resolved in Nautilus for GNOME 2.16. The main subject of this bug is the nautilus-file-management-properties application - the various combo boxes do not have their "labelled_by" property set.
