I am not a unix specialist, but the prermissions look fine to me.

As I already said, when I delete the Thumbnails directory before running GWorkspace, it is

created after the segfault, so it seems strange that the problem is in the creation of thedirectory.

It seems the file creation problem  occurs when running as root, but when running as a regular user, I have no problem with the creation of the directories.

Couldn't it be the lost connection with fswatcher that causes the problem?

Kind regards

Riccardo,

I will rebuild in a minute. In the mean time I had added the update that was suggested by Sebastian.

My change didn't change much, it was just to make sure that Library was created before creating Thumbnails if the former wasn't available.

This is the result of the execution:

[edwin@ridcule ~]$ openapp GWorkspace

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

the path looks fine.

To exclude permission problems I ran as root with the following result:
[edwin@ridcule ~]$ su root
Password:
[root@ridcule edwin]# openapp GWorkspace
2013-02-15 09:42:22.507 make_services[1800] couldn't create /root/GNUstep/Library/Services

2013-02-15 09:42:22.620 GWorkspace[1738] unable to create the thumbnails directory. Quiting now
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[root@ridcule edwin]#

What is notable here is that "make_services" fails too when creating a subdirectory, this looks really strange.
Coud you do an ls -l insite GNUstep instead as of Library? and attempt to manually create (with the user you will run GWorkspace with, root or user, dependning) the Thumbnail or Services directory inside Library?
