Comment 50 for bug 12154

This is a very difficult issue because it amounts to a fairly major feature change underneath. Every access has to be wrapped by a permissions check, followed by an authentication. Someone tried to patch this into the file manager a while back, but the patch never got approved.

The real bug is the GNOME bug. That's where most of the work happens, and that's where this bug has been prioritized out of scope for years.
