Comment 14 for bug 192629

There is a hackish solution for this, without having to go into the fstab, at least in Intrepid. THIS ONLY WORKS WITH INTERNAL NTFS DRIVES.

First, mount the ntfs drive by clicking it in Nautilus. Once you've done this, go to computer:/// in nautilus, right click on the drive, and go into the "drive" section, mount settings. There, on the mount options, add "uid=1000" without commas. Unmount and remount using nautilus. If you get errors the first time, just use dolphin to mount cleanly, unmount, second time it should work like a charm.

And yeah, nautilus at this is far worse than dolphin. Rant: another thing which makes me wanting to switch to KDE4 for good, ASAP.
