Bug#874073: camorama: .gnome2 ownership discovered after loading camorama

[Ross]

Package: camorama
Version: 0.19-5+b1
Severity: normal
Tags: d-i

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
      I installed camorama using synaptic.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
      camorama would not start from menu.
      camorama would not start from terminal as user.
      camorama started from terminal using sudo.

   * What was the outcome of this action?
      discovered that ~/.gnome2 owner and group were set to root instead of user 

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
      ~/.gnome2 should be owned by the user, not root.
      It is unclear when/how ~/.gnome2 was created or changed to be owned by root.  
      Problem was discovered when I installed camorama, but it may have pre-existed.
      This is a fairly new (~2 weeks) installation of stretch with mate desktop
      Camorama had loaded and worked without incident on prior installation of jessie-mate on same hardware.
      Note that the desktop is Mate in case that played a part in this issue.
