Using the GNOME system monitor, I can't see anything that I wouldn't expect.
There are a lot of processes starting with gvfsd, but given the G I'd assume
that's part of GNOME.
Not even changing the permissions of the folders fixes the problem. I gave
all users permission to create and delete files, but when I change file
access to "read and write" it reverts right back even after I remove the
properties window.
The offending folders are:
/proc/irq
/sys/bus/pci/drivers/agpart-intel
/sys/bus/pci/drivers/snd_hda/intel
/sys/module/intel-idle
/sys/module/snd_hda_intel
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/hda_intel
There's also a large number of files that might or might not be related, as
they weren't modified as recently as the folders.
Here's what ls -l reveals about /proc/irq. Your other commands all receive
"permission denied".

Are there any parts of the Trisquel system that are protected in this way?
Could I delete the kernel if I wanted to? (I don't.) On Windows, there are
certain files protected by TrustedInstaller, but you can get around that as
an administrator. This really perplexes me.
