Lock symbol won't go away, even after 'chown' exec.

[Moozillaaa]

I did the chown task, as root, and the file icon still has the lock symbol on it.

I did it on another file on my desktop just before that, and the symbol went away.

I checked 'Properties', and it shows me as owner.

It's an ISO on my desktop, copied from LXF Magazine DVD.

Ideas here?

I believe you are confusing file permissions with file/icon properties. Any file with 'chmod 777 filename' can have a lock emblem attached to the icon.

Just adding a lock emblem does not change the permissions of the file, it only gives a graphical representation of what the permissions might be.
