But it is not THE solution... .hidden is surely a trasaction hack between the navigational world to the spatial one. You have to think that Filesystem is just a database storage system. GNOME is its Engine (...and an application server too...). So that you cannot think that looking .hidden file into bash is a problem due to the fact that bash will be used by power user and not by everyday/home/office users. Nautilus has to hide the complexity of the filesystem/objects/database. Nautilus is a filter filesystem engine (and more).
