Yeah, editing the permissions doesn't seem to work for me in dired. If
I start with
-rw-r--r-- 1 larsi larsi 329K Aug 21 18:22 IMG_4478.JPG
and press DEL after the final dash, it'll delete the dash and then say
"Text is read only", leaving me with:
-rw-r--r- 1 larsi larsi 329K Aug 21 18:22 IMG_4478.JPG
And then I can't insert anything there, because it's now read-only. So
something is wonky in the way wdired tries to make certain bits of the
line read-only.
