thanks c., that was a really good advice!

well, again i could not come around with chmod, but i opened up 
'nautilus' one more time and i realized that in the 'file-preferences' 
tab the options 'special attributes' have to be checked for the 
preferences not to be changed as soon i close nautilus.
so that worked out really good!

thanks again and cheers,
