I got this problem when I added myself to the group "root". When I
remove myself from that group the emblems went away. I even reported it
as a bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=122334 .
Perhaps you have done something like this?

After upgrading to FC2 (actually it happened when upgrading to
Fedora Testing before FC2 was released), my nautilus desktop icons
show up with the read-only emblems on them where I would not expect them.
My girlfriend's account does not display this behavior.
The icons are: Computer, protho's Home, Trash.
My home directory is definately not read-only. Bringing up the
properties dialog for it, and looking at the Permissions tab, I see
the message "You are not the owner, so you can't change these
permissions." I am the owner though (the dialog even shows as much) and
in fact can change the permissions (they are enabled). My girlfriend also
has this behavior, so I suspect it's just a bug with that message.
Anyway, the read-only emblems are a little annoying and I can't find any
way to fix them. Any help?
