I know we have a problem where we try to write out a plugin's modified
properties file to same directory from which it was loaded. Since this is in
the installation directory, on Linux you normally wouldn't have write access
to this directory unless you were logged in as root.

I'm not sure if this is your problem (I'm not a Linux guy -- yet :-), but
you could try installing FreeRIDE in you home directory and see if that
works. If it does, please post to this list and let us know.

In the mean time, we are working on a solution to the problwm I mentioned
above.
