Bug Description
Bug in Jaunty:
When I try to set my ieee1394 preferences in kino, I find that I am unable to do so because /dev/raw1394 has the wrong ownership. It is root:root instead of, say, root:video. This means that I have to change it myself, and I have to do it each time because I can't remember how to make the change permanent.
What should happen: The end user shouldn't have to think about permissions at all except perhaps (at a stretch) for choosing, via the GUI, to be part of the video group.
