Sounds good. So why is the "advanced-permissions" not the default in GNOME? I found this "impossible to find 
setting" with help from others. That is, the current permissions tab is so bad people are going to the 
trouble of finding this "impossible to find setting" to fix it.

The current default is really bad. It should be changed, if nothing else because it forces users to the 
command-line to work the Execute permission. I think users should have a GUI option to fully operate 
permissions. But further, the "advanced-permissions" is much easier to understand and configure.

This "hidden mode" should not have been removed unless/until the one offered is at least as good.
