So with all these conditions (a custom, off by default), I then think
that we should not install this.  My idea was to have better privacy by
*default*.  If one user have to tweak a custom somewhere to do this, I
think he'd better set the Unix rights on its desktop file by "hand" as
I'm doing now.  And there is still umask also.
