@CalderCoalson: Long story short, cluttering home directories with invisible files is part of the FHS standard. There is also a freedesktop standard that dictates that configuration should be put in a subdirectory under ~/.config/. My personal preference is for the latter. And the .config directory is 755 (i e not locked up for other users)...
As a side note, does anybody know how other distributions deal with this issue? My guess is that almost everyone else locks it up by default, but I don't know for sure. And that in turn leads to upstreams assuming that, and therefore not caring about what permissions they put on their invisible files. -- Home permissions too open https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/48734 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
