And here's to King's health !
** (gnome-commander:22830): WARNING **: Cannot open
"/root/gandalf/debug/smartctl-hda.txt" Permission denied (13)
I tried to 'Open' that file (usually calls gedit), but, although the file
itself was readable, i forgot to set the directory permissions of 740 to
something more userfriendly.
-rw-rw---- 1 root staff 8.2K 2008-02-03 23:58 smartctl-hda.txt
drwxr----- 2 root staff 4.0K 2008-02-04 04:08 debug/
So, according to the body-and-ass logic of ext3 permissions, the user (being in
group 'staff') could read the directory list (r), but not jump into it (x) to
do anything. So far, that's ok. But gcmd is a bit hysterical here: The window
disappeares immediately (not even a shy 'so long' in the logs).
This is only with 'Open' from context menu, not 'Open with' or renaming actions
or any custom plugin. Internal viewer shows background void but that's not
wrong somehow. So, what's happening in 'Open' ?

Can i hear 'Why should a user do anything in /root at all !' ? well let's say
it's by tradition or better, don't ask.
