Dag burn it, I guess they removed that between the version I had in SuSE
8.2 and what is in SuSE 9.0. But I can say that I have used it quite a
bit without any permissions problems.

You didn't by chance ever run it after a su to root did you? This would
have put files into your home directory owned by root. You can verify
this by running ll -R|grep root in your home directory and seeing if you
have any results. If you do you need to change the ownership to you
first.
