Unfortunately, the 'Repair Disk Permissions' of the Disk Utility doesn't seem to change the permissions bit back to its original values of this folder.
Well this part is a bug IMO. Disk Utility should repair this. Please file a bug report. <http://developer.apple.com/bugreporter/> Beyond that, I don't have any great suggestions. You wrote: At 9:11 -0400 29/5/09, Peter Alshuth wrote:

This is a really bad idea. If the default permissions change, your application becomes part of the problem not part of the solution. OTOH, detecting this damage, reporting it to the user, with a URL to click that leads to a support article on your site that describes the problem and the solution... that might be a good way to go.
