Bug Description

I just noticed the following in debian/postinst:
DEFAULTS=/etc/gnome/defaults.list
if [ -f $DEFAULTS ]; then
        chmod 666 $DEFAULTS
        echo "application/x-turtle-art=turtleart.desktop" >> $DEFAULTS
        chmod 644 $DEFAULTS
        gtk-update-icon-cache -qf /usr/share/icons/hicolor
fi

There is no reason to use either of the chmod's here. The '666' also gives a slight window where a non-privileged user can add something to the file. Please remove them.

Thanks
