Default group

[John Moser]

Doesn't look integrated into the default UI.  Workable, but not quite 
intuitive.  Things I'd prefer:

  - Shows the user and group ownership, instead of piling them is as 
just part of the ACL.  Remember these have special meanings for SUID/SGID.

  - First three ACL entries are always Owner, Group, and Other.

  - Integrate into the UI (Konqueror, Gnome)

  - "Apply ACL to Enclosed Files" button to apply the ACL all the way down.

  - Possibly "Apply Permissions to Enclosed Files" button for only UNIX 
permissions

i.e. something more obvious and intuitive.
