Well yes... the ordinary files don't say that they use "Advanced
Permissions". The others do.

I've never needed them either :-) Goodness knows why they're suddenly being
used and seem to be important for these few files.

Being a mostly-command-line guy I expected to see obvious differences in
the output from "ls -al" and "lsattr" (I expect that all the GUI stuff is
just essentially some kind of wrapper for these commands; that's often the
case). But there's no obvious difference at all.
