	Not sure actually; it doesn't behave as you describe on Linux at least
- I can change the dir and file permissions, and nothing notices in the
UI.

	Sure - there is some working out that the 'soffice' you exec'd and is
in a .desktop file is really now 'soffice.bin' or 'oosplash.bin' and
showing the right icons and so on - but - it is not hard.

	Umh ? :-) no idea. I would just hate to add tons of the same code to
all apps on the desktop without sharing that in a library - it is a
cause for inconsistency; hence - I'd prefer to see this done not
per-app, but once per desktop. Finally - IMHO persuading users to
un-mount devices is (I think) mostly a lost battle. At least on SUSE we
do very aggressive write-through for USB / other hot-pluggable devices
to avoid these problems.

	HTH,

		Michael.
