Here are some of my permissions:

scott@debian:~$ ls -la .ICEauthority
-rw-------    1 root     root         1102 Jan 31 06:19 .ICEauthority
scott@debian:~$


scott@debian:~$ ls -l /usr/bin/mozilla-1.0.0
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root         5872 Jun 23  2002
/usr/bin/mozilla-1.0.0
scott@debian:~$


scott@debian:~$ ls -ld ~/
drwxr-xr-x    9 scott    scott        4096 Jan 31 06:19 /home/scott/
scott@debian:~$


I tried changing ownership on my .ICE directory above to scott, but when
KDE said it couldn't write to it, I sudo'd its startup again.

This is all from a stock install of Debian off Woody floppies.  I have
done nothing special other than to add my scott account as sudo via:

under root: visudo

and my /etc/sudoers list is:

scott@debian:~$ cat /etc/sudoers
# sudoers file.
#
# This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command as root.
#
# See the man page for details on how to write a sudoers file.
#

# Host alias specification

# User alias specification

# Cmnd alias specification

# User privilege specification
root    ALL=(ALL) ALL
scott   ALL=(ALL) ALL
scott@debian:~$
