Hi, I'm forwarding this from the Users list as Mike suggested. It's a side-issue to my attempt to debug an OpenOffice problem, but it would be nice to know why some TDE components try to write to /etc/tqt3/tqt_plugins_3.5rc.tmp, which of course is not writable by non-root accounts?

(I tried making that file world-writable, but I get the same error.)
