Well, I think they are...

Ive been using latest build xbmc on a 9.04 box as an admin user. I then created a "dumb" user with low permissions and ran xbmc under that user as auto-login, auto-run.

XBMC will not save any settings under this user but *will* create the .xbmc directory and contents if i delete it! dumb user has full access to their home directory.

are there other permissions im missing somewhere?

cheers
