No idea. It's far too difficult to keep track of the state of
Linux, never mind the current popularity of different snapshots
of what is "current art". The above is just what I've arrived at
after been beaten up by some of the Linux desktop people. The second
approach (use a group) will always work of course, but may require
extra user actions, such as creating the group and making themselves
a member of it.
