Title:
  gconfd saved_state file has executable tag set

Status in The GConf Registry System:
  New
Status in “gconf” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gconf

  gconfd seems to be setting the executable bit on a file which
  presumably has no need to be executable

  paulm@noobuntu:~/.gconfd$ ls -l
  total 1624
  -rwx------ 1 paulm paulm 1654806 2011-05-05 13:54 saved_state

  This could (perhaps in combination with other factors) be a security
  issue and also cause warnings from security tools that look for files
  with potentially dangerous or unexpected attributes.
