6. Double click on 'tmp'
7. Double click on 'gconfd-root'
8. Close the window by clicking on the 'X' button of the window. Do not
   click on 'Cancel'
9. An error message 'You dont have right permissions to read files from
   folder "%s" '
10. Click on 'Cancel'

Actual Results:
File roller hangs.

  directories with insufficient perms.
