Description of problem: gtk2 filechooser is having a problem dealing with chmod o-r directories. Here is a simple setup example: Create an unbrowsable directory as root ls -la /tmp/ drwxrwx-wx 3 root root 4096 Oct 28 12:41 users as normal user: echo "I am a moron" > /tmp/users/moron.txt mkdir /tmp/users/poop/ echo "test test 1 2 1 2" > /tmp/users/poop/ick.txt Verify the set up as normal user: cat /tmp/users/moron.txt -> this works ls -la /tmp/users -> this fails ls -la /tmp/users/poop -> this works cat /tmp/users/poop/ick.txt -> this works as normal user: open up gedit try to open /tmp/users/moron.txt in the filechooser dialog... segfault try to open /tmp/users/poop/ick.txt in the filechooser dialog...segfault you'll have to type in the name of the file, since you can't browse to it. call gedit /tmp/users/poop/ick.txt on the commandline and it works. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gtk2-2.4.13-3 How reproducible: always for any file i need to select that is in a tree with a non-browsable directory. Doesn't matter how deeply the file is nested into the non-browsable directory, the gtk filechooser doesn't seem to be able to handle drwxrwx-wx permissions. And I don't know about your systems, but I know some multi-user systems where this sort of situation isn't unheard of. And it happens for any application that uses the new gtk filechooser, gedit was just an easy illustration. -jef
This is already fixed upstream, we just forgot to include the trivial 1-line fix in the backport of the treeview typeahead. I'm building a fixed package currently, which will appear either in FC3 or RHEL4.
