Thing that's surprise me is that I have a very basic install of ubuntu,
using unity.

My Home folder is encrypted though. Maybe that's the problem ?

When I try to access the folder /home in nautilus I have the message
"The folder contents could not be displayed. You do not have the
permissions necessary to view the contents of "home"."

---

So I decided to change the chmod of the /home folder from
drwxr-x--x  5 root    root     4096 Nov 11 16:18 .
to
drwxr-xr-x  5 root    root     4096 Nov 11 16:18 .

I don't have the error anymore when I open the preference dialog in
transmission, or when I try to print from Firefox, so I guess it's
working fine now but... Is it a good fix ? Is the chmod suposed to be in
drwxr-xr-x ?
