how can I hide files in Nautilus permanently?

Question

how can I hide files in Nautilus permanently? When I uncheck the "show hidden files" button, the files get hidden. But when I open Nautilus the next time they are always back, which is quite annoying and makes Nautilus unusable.

This key is outdated an will be ignored. Use key »show-hidden« in category »org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser« instead!

Install dconf-tools (if not allready present). Than fire up dconf-editor Click within dconf-editor:

Org -> gnome -> nautilus -> preferences

and clear the item "show-hidden-files"
