/root permissions and gconf

[zvn]

Hi,

It is normally, when after installing of gconf, other can read /root contents?

my permissions of superuser homedir (other can't read /root contents):
# ls -ld /root
drwxr-x--- 19 root root

then I'm reinstall gconf
# equo install gconf
>> @@ These are the selected packages:
>> # (1/1) [sabayon-weekly] gnome-base/gconf-3.2.5
>> Versions: 3.2.5 / NoTag / 0 ===> 3.2.5 / NoTag / 0
>> Action: Reinstall
...
>> @@ Installation complete.

and now other can read contents of this directory
# ls -ld /root
drwxr-xr-x 19 root root

# qfile /root
gnome-base/gconf (/root)
mate-base/mate-conf (/root)

With mate-conf same situation...

All time I thought that permissons to the superuser home directory for other is denied by default.
Am I mistaking?
