Alexander Larsson recently committed his work on the permissions page in Nautilus. He writes: I just commited a rework of the permissions page in the file property dialog. It has a simplified UI (and an advanced/unixy version availible via a gconf setting) and support for recursive permission changes.

combo-box for groups is unworkable.

Indeed. Any solution that involved enumerating groups on the system is doomed to failure. Consider the case where the box is joined to a Windows domain via winbindd. Counting trusted domains there could be tens of thousands of potential groups.

This solution won't fly in large organisations and will have to be fixed before going into distros like SuSE or RHEL.
