This bug is an extension of bug 295393. Bug 295393 not only affects Linus, but
also Windows XP and in fact I suspect it to affect all rights-management based OSs.
A user can TRY to install additional dictionaries through the extension manager,
but the extension does not install, because it needs to put files into the
programs directory, which das restricted access rights. The extension manager
does not display an error message. Only an administrator can successfully
install the dictionaries.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. log on as unprivilleged user
2. install dictionary
3. try to activate the dictionary (it does not show up in the dictionary lists)
Actual Results:
no result whatsoever
Expected Results:
dictionary should be added
This bug is an extension of bug 295393, but I could not change the OS
specification of that bug, which is LINUX.
