OK, that's a Pessulus issue, or an issue with the way Sabayon's pulling in
Pessulus.  I'll have a look at this.  I'll enter a bug on it, or you can,
dealer's choice :)

Hmmm, doesn't seem to do it here on mine.  Maybe something odd with the way
we're capturing keypresses?  Federico: You were the wizard who fixed that stuff
with Xephyr.  Any thoughts?

Agreed.  I'll fix that.

Top two items should be "Mandatory GConf Settings" and "Default GConf Settings"
in the details pane.  Double clicking them should bring up a gconf viewer.

Agreed.  I'm thinking we just need to trap a signal somewhere, and then toggle
all the bits.  I'll enter it as a bug tonight, so we can track it.

No, it doesn't.  On my todo list.  I'm officially considering:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=374861

To be the tracker for that bug, since I've fixed symlinks in that bug.  Storing
owner, group, and mode requires a similar fix.

Thanks for identifying these!

Cheers,
Scott
