According to this locic it's absolutely unwise to run ANY programme not
written by yourself under your userid on ANY operating system not writ-
ten by yourself, because doing so could modify or destroy ANY file in
your home directory!
After all the OPs problem arose from Trisquel (of all things!) providing
unwise (according to the OP) defaults and the OP not willing to read the
documentation or to _REALLY_ follow the advise received on this list!

Sincerely,
Rainer
