Oh you are right, didn't realize that /dev/hd* are writable by the
group disk. Now what I do is
create a system group "pmu", and add my regular user to it. The
permission on my /dev/pmu
now reads:
crw-rw----    1 root     pmu       10, 154 2004-06-26 13:17 /dev/pmu

And now nautilus (I think that's what's complaining about wrong
permission, since when I xkill that window nautlius also terminates)
no longer complains about incorrect permission.
