ROX-Filer, NFS and .DirIcon problem

Hello everyone,

I just encountered the following problem: after copying several
images (each named ".DirIcon") into different directories on a
NFS mount, my ROX-Filer (2.11) Window does, as expected, show
some of them instead of the default folder icon, but not all.

I discovered that for ROX-Filer to show the new icons, both the
directory (on the NFS mount) AND the corresponding .DirIcon
must be owned by myself. This is a bit surprising, since both
directories and .DirIcons are world readable.
This can be reproduced: as soon as the directory or the
.DirIcon are not owned by myself, the Filer displays the
default folder icon.

I copied the directories onto a local ext4 filesystem and
played with the ownerships. Everything's allright, ROX Filer
always shows the .DirIcon images.

I am not at all sure that this would be a ROX Filer problem,
may also be related to NFS or something completely different.
However, as both the directory and the .DirIcon are readable,
the filer should IMO display the new icon.

Any hints?

Regards,
Thilo
