For your information. I applied your patch and it was uploaded to
Debian. But I got this mail after it is accepted to Debian. If you can
provide me a patch which will help saving the surf package in
Debian it would be great.

PS: I'm just trying to save surf package on Debian

-               g_mkdir_with_parents(apath, 0755);
+               g_mkdir_with_parents(apath, 0700);

I think you should also downgrade the permissions from 0755 if the
directory exists (in case we want to keep the package alive, which I doubt).
