I only saw issues with my desktop icons which was resolved with the script I quoted above. I don’t recall seeing any issues with folder settings inside nautilus (or if I did, I didn’t care).

(only other thing I’d note is that I think I was moving from Ubuntu to Mint at the time I changed from Gnome2 to MATE, and that may have contributed to the effect. It may not affect you with remaining on Fedora – or it may affect you worse with a larger version gap to jump. I’ve since moved back to Ubuntu MATE, and had no issues with that transition).

Good luck!

I an still using Fedora 14 because I do not want to lose the classical working environment, and I definitely want to keep the icon position information for my files/folders. Now with your post, I see a hope to move on to the newest Fedora with Mate desktop, where caja is the file manager. Could I know how I can apply your methods for all the folders/files under my home directory? Is there any update/tool on this issue (i.e., moving the Natilus’s gvfs-metadata to Caja and keep all the information including the icon positions)? Thank you so much!
