Summary: File permissions in 4.3 beta2 source are wrong

Initial Comment:
The file permissions on some files in the 4.3 beta2
source distribution are too restrictive: rw-------, so
only root can read (and write) these files. These
should be rw-rw-rw-.

On linux/unix systems, this causes the startup tips to
be inaccessible, causing the splash screen to hang.

Checking out the code as one user, and then building it as
another is rather unusual.  The permissions could be changed
to 644, but they may actually be determined by the cvs
client, or the way sourceforge has set up the repository.

One should never have permissions set to rw-rw-rw- for
normal files. Make that rw-rw-r-- (0664) instead for normal
files and rwxrwxr-x (0775) for directories by default. Other
reasonalbe choices could be 0644 and 0755.
