Description Michael Nottebrock 2002-06-29 08:10:01 UTC 
	kdebase installs a lot of files in /usr/local/share with permissions
	444, on of them is .directory. .directory is copied to
	~./Desktop every time a user starts up KDE for the first time, with
	permissions 444 it causes the Desktop not being able to remember icon
	positions.

As we discussed on IRC this morning, the problem isn't the perms the file=
s=20
have, but the perms the *copied* files are given. IOW, it's a coding issu=
e.

Hopefully I can look at this over the weekend and create a patch for it. =
Since=20
it's a one-shot thing, it may do things the straightforward way, instead =
of=20
setting up a file-copy job using dcop; If it is the latter, it may take a=
 bit=20
longer to sort out. A lot of the dcop code is ad-hoc, rather than generat=
ed=20
by an IDL compiler; this means it's more error prone and somewhat harder =
to=20
read. and so a solution may take a bit longer.

Once I've tracked it down and patched it, I'll file a bug with KDE.

I'll handle this one, since it will involve a (possibly really weird) code 
patch.

Since Will's gonna commit 3.0.2 any time now, I'm going to hold off on th=

until 3.0.2 is in the ports tree.

Fixed with addition of patch to kdebase3. Whew! That was a hard one to track 
down.
