[Bug 254169] [NEW] wrong permissions on /tmp files makes it impossible to directly view with external viewer

[Tormod Volden]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

When I click on a link (on launchpad for instance) for a diff.gz file, I
get an error dialog:

/tmp/xserver-xorg-video-
ati_1:6.9.0+git20080802.1f3eee36-0ubuntu0tormod1_1:6.9.0+git20080802.1f3eee36-0ubuntu0tormod2.diff.gz
could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not
exist. Change the association in your preferences.

In the Download Manager it says "Failed" and double-clicking on it here
(or Retry) just yields the same error dialog.

Looking at /tmp, the file in question has permission 0400. Changing it
to 0600, I can double-click and open it in Download Manager again.
