Has anyone noticed (or care about) the fact that under 3.0 you can no  
longer use the WorkSpace->Tools->Inspector->Contents to sort directories   
that are READONLY. I assume this is because they want to write something  
in that directory to remember your preference. This used to work under  
2.1. You can, of course, always use the ls command and get the output  
anyway you like but the File Viewer was a convenient way to do this.
