The change is not applyied if the preferences window is closed nor if nautilus is restarted." http://launchpadlibrarian.net/33736300/Screenshot.png

The issue is still there in GNOME 3.2
Some details, the default zoom value doesn't apply to the compact view at least in 3.2, seems to work fine in "icons"
I can confirm that the zoom value doesn't apply to the compact view in 3.2.
Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. However, you are using a version that is too old and not supported anymore. GNOME developers are no longer working on that version, so unfortunately there will not be any bug fixes for the version that you use. By upgrading to a newer version of GNOME you could receive bug fixes and new functionality. You may need to upgrade your Linux distribution to obtain a newer version of GNOME. Please feel free to reopen this bug if the problem still occurs with a newer version of GNOME.
I can confirm, again, that it still applies to 3.4.2.
Please don't reopen without a reason. Compact mode has been removed.
