By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Description Darrell 2011-11-19 12:13:38 CST 
As non root user, when browsing the Control Center, Peripherals, Display or ICC, the following error messages appear:

trying to create local folder /opt/trinity/share/config/kdisplay: Permission denied
trying to create local folder /opt/trinity/share/config/kicc: Permission denied

1. That change permissions is denied makes sense, but if these Control Center options require root privileges, then browsing those sections as a non root user should not create any error messages. There should be silence when a non root user browses those sections rather than clutter the error log. (Paper cut candidate.)

2. There are default configuration files stored in $PREFIX/share/config. If root opens those same two sections in Control Center, is this the correct location for storing those changes?

The associated kcontrol location was moved to System Administration->Monitor & Display. The kicc message still appears.
