Yes, I know.

The bad thing: These ACLs have higher pivilges than the filesystem and they
inhibit the writing of the device.

No good idea. For myself it would be ok, but not for my customers.
However, as I mentined before, I could either remove ACLs, or better just set
the directory to the rights of the user manually.
Howeverm the last thing is, what I would have been expected by the desktop
environtment. Thus there are two optins: Either this is a bug or it is set by
the developers to do as it does.
Maybe some maintainer or developer (who might read this) might know more.
