Should I add this ownership to the spec file and remove the requirement?

Thus, any of these browsers can provide the directory ownership and hardcoding a dependency on a specific browser seems too intrusive.| Thanks, Seth! -- Peter Gordon (codergeek42) / FSF & EFF Member GnuPG Public Key ID: 0xFFC19479 / Fingerprint: DD68 A414 56BD 6368 D957 9666 4268 CB7A FFC1 9479 Blog: http://thecodergeek.com/blog/ About: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PeterGordon
