We're trying to run Ubuntu desktops on a mixed OS network and this is one of the minor annoyances new users bring up regularly. Any file that comes from another Ubuntu machine has the little lock symbol. Pictures, documents, anything. I know why, you know why, but a less sophisticated user ends up spending a lot of time trying to figure it out. They have no idea how to fix it and don't have root access in any respect.
I'm not sure they're as concerned whether it's a bug fix or feature request, all they know is they can't save changes to the file and end up with three different copies of everything. Some they have permissions to, some they don't. It's a very confusing issue for new users and a deal breaker in a bigger office. Perhaps some examples of what's a paper cut and what's a feature request could have kept me from wasting my time trying to bring a user annoyance to your attention.
