Title:
Opening Preferences shows read error for home
Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
When I open the preferences dialog of gnome-terminal I get a popup
window (see screenshot) with the error message "Could not read the
contents of home. Permission denied." If I acknowledge the error with
a click on OK everything seems to work fine, nonetheless.
One cause for the error message is clear: It's the permissions of
/home which I always set to 0711 on shared computers. The error
message does not appear when I change permissions to 0755.
I am afraid this error might very well be not a problem of gnome-
terminal but of a library or any other shared package. I thought I
have seen it appear in other programs too but I could reproduce it
only in gnome-terminal. Thus, I hope that reporting it against gnome-
terminal at least might help others find this bug. And maybe the
developers of gnome-terminal can help to clarify the actual causes.
