I have no idea, but it shouldn't matter if you're running as yourself. You have write access. That's what counts. I looked at my own, and I have a mixed bag of files with 600 (rw-------) and 644 (rw-r--r--) permissions, and all the diretories are 700 (rwx------). > This is driving me insane. It's perplexing me too. Try this: cd ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/ touch bookmarks.xml touch foo Here's how it's supposed to look: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cd ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror$ touch bookmarks.xml [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror$ touch foo [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror$ Basically nothing visible should happen, in other words. If you pass this test, then this isn't where your permission problem is, or you don't have a permission problem after all. -- D.
