Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

Setting the default zoom preference in Nautilus does not work in karmic beta. The attachment shows
the behavior.

What we see in the screenshot is that the default zoom level is set to 50%, and the icons of the
Desktop are resized accordingly. However, the icons in the main Nautilus window are not.
The change is not applyied if the preferences window is closed nor if nautilus is restarted.

Compact view zoom use "icon view" zoom level. I set it to 50% and compact view zoom also displays as 50%. Simple workaround.

This workaround works for me. Hope this helps some of you too. (And it may even help locate the bug.)
