world writeable files

[Steve Fox <drfickle k-lug com>]

I sent this yesterday, but it seems whoever is the list admin is at LWE 
cuz I wasn't subscribed and no one has approved it yet. ;0)

I noticed that Nautilus was generating world-writeable files (the
Mandrake msec security tool reported it). Darin Adler on the Nautilus
list thought this is handled by GConf and there I should mention it here.

Example:

Security Warning: Change in World Writeable Files found :
