Isn't the POSIX ACL spec just a superset of UNIX permissions? (i.e. X person or group can or cannot read/write/execute) I would think that Owner, Group and Others could be presented in the dialog as special, non-removable users. The Sticky and setuid/setgid would have to go in their own category, but it could still be within the same dialog. The dialog could be laid out as it is, but with the Owner/Group/Others section being a treeview, like what you see in the Open With dialog, but with three toggle boxes instead of option buttons. Add and remove buttons would be beneath it, and the rest of the dialog could remain the same
), all the perms should go in one treeview, something like the one in OS X, I'l forge a mockup and post'it to the list.|
