you could allways just use a terminal to do it...

Has anyone had a look at the options you get for setting file
permissions in FC6's Nautilus? No longer you can tick on or off read,
write, or execute permissions individually for user, group, and others.
You get a drop-down for owner read-only or read/write, a drop-down for
group none, read-only or read/write, likewise for others. But only one
tick box that lets everybody or nobody execute the file? It seems
stupid, in the extreme, to be able to end up setting something with file
permissions like: rwx --x --x
The addition of some SELinux options is welcome, but the two choices are
quite lame: user or temporary data, nothing else is offered.
The properties dialogue doesn't make any contextual changes for when
you're playing with directories instead of files. The executable toggle
is still labelled "allow executing file as program".
If this is aimed as less techno-savvy users, it's going to be confusing.
And for those who know about permissions, the thing is seriously
unhelpful.
