is this a bug?

[Joseph Piche]

Hello.

I am trying to get to the center of Ubuntu Bug #7560 and Gnome Bug
#108307. This "bug" is over 4 years old. This relates to how gnome-vfs
treats files moved to the trash, but I believe it boils down to how
coreutils treats file/folder permissions. The steps to reproduce:

cd
mkdir -p test/test
touch test/test/file
cd test
chmod -R a-w test
cd
rm -r test

"rm: cannot remove `test/test/file': Permission denied"

Is this a bug or is this expected behavior? If it is expected
behavior, is it desired behavior?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Joseph Piche
