Well, that means that the Gnome documentation is inaccurate, to say the least. But also, it is unclear what is the purpose of the "Icon captions" tab in "File management preferences", which one gets when one selects the "Preferences" menu item in a Nautilus window. So I'm led to believe that the problem isn't my system, but that this particular feature of Nautilus hasn't been implemented yet. So is this a bug? (I get information displayed at the bottom of nautilus, as you indicate, but that relates to the directory one is working in, not to icons one is moving the pointer over.)
