Hello Seth, thank you for your answer. It is so strange. As far as I know it was done so all users could access ~/Public directory and this does not apply to the directories like .config and .local which could contain private information and application settings. ~/.cache folder still contains 700. I had correct permissions for those folders before (for example 14.04, 16.04): /home ----/user1 (755) --------/Public (755) --------/.config (700) --------/.local (700) --------/.cache (700) In normal circumstances .config and .local folders will be created by xdg-user-dirs-update utility with 700 permissions. Is it possible that xdg utility doesn't execute correct?
