Package: arora
Version: 0.2-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

using KDE, if Arora is started from another user for the first time, it creates 
the ".local/" directory and 
and its content (".local/share/", ".local/share/data/", 
".local/share/data/Arora/") with "drwxr-xr-x" mode.

e.g.
at...@foscolo:~$ ls -al | fgrep local
drwx------  3 athos athos 4096 2010-04-23 16:04 .local
at...@foscolo:~$ xhost +local:
non-network local connections being added to access control list
at...@foscolo:~$ su cdatt
Password:
cd...@foscolo:/home/athos$ cd
cd...@foscolo:~$ arora &
[2] 8117
cd...@foscolo:~$ Qt: Session management error: Could not open network socket

cd...@foscolo:~$ ls -al | fgrep local
drwxr-xr-x  3 cdatt cdatt 4096 2010-09-08 00:02 .local
cd...@foscolo:~$ ls -l .local/
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 3 cdatt cdatt 4096 2010-09-08 00:02 share
cd...@foscolo:~$ ls -l .local/share/

-rw-r--r-- 1 cdatt cdatt   727 2010-09-26 18:48 cookies.ini
-rw-r--r-- 1 cdatt cdatt    83 2010-09-08 00:02 history
-rw-r--r-- 1 cdatt cdatt 20480 2010-09-26 18:48 WebpageIcons.db

I'm not sure if this could be a generic security problem - obviously not if 
home directories are not 
readable from other users - so I decide to classify it as a normal bug.
You can change, if you want.

Probably this is not an Arora specific problem but a QT or KDE issue.

I know that this is a very unusual way of using a browser but, in my opinion, 
it could be useful.

Thanks in advance.
