Description Benoît Dejean 2007-10-08 22:26:09 UTC 
Saving a file actually swap files which drops ACL.

>>> getfacl foo
# file: foo
# owner: benoit
# group: benoit
user::rw-
group::r--
other::---


>>> setfacl -m u:luser:r foo

>>> getfacl foo
# file: foo
# owner: benoit
# group: benoit
user::rw-
user:luser:r--
group::r--
mask::r--
other::---


>>> ls -i foo
242268 foo

>>> gedit foo
# edit and save the file

>>> ls -i foo
1635821 foo

>>> getfacl foo
# file: foo
# owner: benoit
# group: benoit
user::rw-
group::r--
other::---

Certainly for the same reason, when I create a file whith gedit on my Desktop and  move the icon associated to the new file (always on the Desktop folder but to the opposite side for example), each time I edit the file whith gedit, its position is reverted (works fine with Emacs and vim).
Comment 2 Paolo Borelli 2009-01-02 16:47:16 UTC 
is the acl problem still existing? did you compile with libattr support enabled?
Comment 3 Stephane Raimbault 2009-01-24 22:28:45 UTC 
The two problems are fixed (nice border effect of the switch to gio :).
Thanks.
