[gentoo-user] nautilus 2.16.3 never/always shows backup files

[Markus Schönhaber]

Hi there!

In nautilus 2.16.3, backup files (files with names that end with a '~' 
character) are never shown in file browser mode if
"File management preferences / Views / Show hidden and backup files"
is unchecked, i. e. toggling "View / Show Hidden Files" toggles the display of 
dotfiles but backup files are always hidden.
With
"File management preferences / Views / Show hidden and backup files"
checked, this is reversed, i. e. backup files are always shown - idependent of 
the setting of "View / Show Hidden Files".

I found those in Gnome's bugzilla:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=327361
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=335315
and this in Ubuntu's launchpad:
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/5326
but I didn't find a report in Gentoo's bugzilla.
The patch
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=72108&action=view
referenced from the Gnome bug #327361 solves the problem for me.

Is this really an unknown bug wrt Gentoo or did I simply overlook the 
corresponding report?
