Description Yogeesh 2004-03-25 10:17:06 UTC 
I am running Gnome community head build(2.5.9), dated 25th Feb 2004 on 
Linux.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Invoke nautilus with home folder in browser mode(say type nautilus --
browser from home dir),
2) Nautilus comes up with user home directory contents,
3) Right Click on nautilus window And From dropdown list Select ->
 Arrange Items -> Compact Layout.
4) Repeat this 3-4 times to watch the compact and normal layout changes,
6) Now Select Edit->Prefernces->Views Tab,
7) Repeated Check/Uncheck the 'Use compact layout' option under Icon View 
defaults

Observe that, the contents are not displayed in compact mode.
This option becomes useless, if it is already set by the other option (i.c, 
right click and select from drop down list).

Justification: Compact Layout option should work consistantly from both ways.

The two settings are not the same. One is the default for folders you didn't
change the setting in. The other one is for the specific folder you where
viewing when you change the setting.
