Yeah, but at least there one gets a "permission denied"
-- assuming it's allowed at all. (I have "/" up in
Nautilus, and the menu entry for "Create Folder" is
totally disabled.)
Now...uh...what was that magic number
{3AD05575-8857-4850-9277-11B85BDB8E09} supposed to mean?
Granted, a Linux app might kick out
"File operation failed, errno = 2"
on occasion (that's sloppy programming), so "2" is a magic
number, but it's one digit as opposed to 32 characters,
5 dashes, and {}.
GUIDs are *so* intuitive. :-) Not.
