Description:   Opened: 2007-12-01 01:03 0000 
This reported upstream as http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=463262

The short description: When gnome-vfs is looking for plugins, it tries to
create ~/.gnome2/ - However, this does not respect $HOME, it gets the value
directly from /etc/passwd

It manifests as a sandbox violation in the fluxbox ebuild, - see bug 179333 for
more details.

The patch mentioned in the gnome.org bug from Debian looks like a reasonable
solution to me.  I will attach a copy of it to this bug.

I can't figure out how to easily download the debian patch, here's a link to
their syntax-highlighted SVN-viewer version:

Created an attachment (id=137628) [details]
debian-24_home_dir_fakeroot.patch

Figured it out, attaching the patch now.

Note: This is the cause of a sandbox violation in the fluxbox ebuild.  I would
appreciate a little feedback on whether or not this is even feasible for you
gnome folks to fix, or if I should just try to work around it in my own ebuild?

patch included, doesn't seem to brake anything (yet ;))
