[Bug 355974] [NEW] Unable to share folder from Dolphin

[mugginz]

Public bug reported:

Dolphin 4.2.2
Jaunty Beta.

Dolphin uses /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/fileshareset to add and remove file shares but by default it's not suid.  Therefore it fails with an error report of
"Sharing folder '/home/mugginz/Videos' failed."
"An error occurred while trying to share folder '/home/mugginz/Videos'. Make sure that the Perl script 'fileshareset' is set suid root."

/usr/bin/fileshareset is suid by default.  (This verision of
fileshareset is installed from kdelibs4c2a) but
/usr/lib/kde4/libexec/fileshareset isn't. (This verision of fileshareset
is installed from kdelibs5)

Each version of fileshareset have different md5 checksums.

sudo chmod u+s /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/fileshareset allows Dolphin to
sucessfully add the share.

This should probably be set this way by default.

** Affects: kde4libs (Ubuntu)
