I can confirm this bug in the final edgy release - using konqueror as a file browser is broken, as only "/home" and "/media" show when any user navigates to "/", although by directly typing the paths in the address bar allows you to navigate to the other directories. The file browser should, by default, allow a user to browse to all files for which he has the relevant permissions.
Presumably this is an attempt to "make things less confusing" to the user, but has the opposite effect. I would strongly suggest that the functionality of the ".hidden" files should be disabled by default and left for administrators to enable should they require. -- May Be A Bug In Konqueror Directory Access https://launchpad.net/bugs/68013 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
