(no dev. release) Well, after sending this mail I've given a try to my speculations and managed to reproduce the permission corruption of Desktop. Here is step by step what I've done : -1- booted an english install of OSX and logged in as admin User (english). -2- added a user (test) -3- logged out -4- logged in as 'test' -5- tuned OSX so that 'test' is a french user. -6- logged out and in to check /Users/test/Desktop's permission : drwx------ -7- logged out and logged in as root (english) (bad bad boy) -8- set prefered language to french -9- logged out and in to ensure everything will work in french -10- added a user (test2) -11- logged out -12- logged in as 'test2' (everything looks english) -13- checked /Users/test2/Desktop's permission : drwxrwxrwx -14- TADAAAAM here we are ! thanx to Kangoo (a fellow reader of the french MacOSX forum at www.macplus.net) who pointed out that localization might be THE issue. patpro -- "Rien ne se perd, rien ne se crée, tout s'empile" - Mon Bureau -
